Anyone walking into our house this morning might think we had opened a 5 star Italian restaurant...Our basement is the perfect place for drying our winters garlic...One batch peeled, sliced and in the dryer...Our house is very odoriferous!
It is just breaking daylight here and Herb stepped out on the front porch and much to his delight watched a red fox saunter down the road on Barton Heights...Over the years we have seen many foxes in the 120 acre field that borders our property in the back, but never one practically on our front door step...Nice way to start the day.
Today is pear canning day and Herb has made several trips up and down stairs, outside and inside...Jars are washing in the dishwasher, gas stove and water bath canner set up and ready for me to start peeling pears, making syrup and filling jars...In a few hours we should have 14 quarts of canned pears ready for the cellar shelves.
My canning has been minimal this year after last years bumper crop of fruit...Our cellar shelves are still well stocked...I did order another 30 pounds of tomatoes from Imnaha, (they should arrive today) mostly because I haven't gotten my fill of bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches and just plain tomato sandwiches...Also one can never have too many roasted tomatoes in the freezer...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
