The weather has changed alot over the past thirty-four years here. We usually don't have snow and hail any longer the first week of June. It's been about six years since we had a serious snow in May. Those were the heavy wet snows that melt the next day.

Thank You!<br /><br />I haven't started canning yet, as we are just getting some ripe tomatoes and<br />green beans in our colder climate of Wyoming. We did pick 6 gallons of currants<br />and we (my husband and myself) are stemming them and cooking them down today. I will actually freeze the juice/pulp, once sieved, for later jelly making. I froze our Nanking cherry juice (4 quarts) last week. <br /><br />I've been drying herbs and getting all of my canning supplies washed up and ready to go.<br />Right now, I'm in an autoimmune flare-up, so am trying to work as much as possible and do the things to prepare for when I feel better and can get to the actual canning.<br />Next week, hopefully, I will be able to do the Piccallili and the Green Tomato Salsa.<br />Can't have cow peas and rice on New Year's Day without piccallili; at least if your mother was from South Carolina (LOL). <br /><br />Have a wonderful day of rest and, again, thank you.Glendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-27240938598430425672013-07-27T10:49:20.864-05:002013-07-27T10:49:20.864-05:00What have I done this week?

Three gallons of fermented pickles, several gallons of frozen raspberries, a couple of pints of green beans, *gallons* of shelling peas, nine loaves of zucchini bread to freeze, and today I am going to try to get some Cynlindra beets pickled. I have a full-time job so I don't get quite as much done as you do, but you inspire me! (I do work from home, so I have a little bit of flexibility.) Thank you!Janetnoreply@blogger.com
