Pears

Well, I got my pears canned today. Here's a picture of them.

Mmmm, cinnamon pears. I love them, but they sure were a lot of work. It took longer than the peaches.

Here's a picture of Mischievo in his new truck that he got for his birthday, with Little Miss Priss in the back.

And here he is with his best friend, Alison.

They have so much fun together. They're like two peas in a pod. She's 6 weeks younger than him but almost a head taller!

Look What I Did Today!

21 jars of peaches and 7 more in the canner! I'm so glad to be done!

I've been working on these peaches all day. I went and picked them up from a local farm at about 10:00 and got started at 10:30. Now it's 4:30 and everything is cleaned up that I can clean up right now and the last batch is in the canner. It feels so good to be done! It was a perfect day for canning. It never got over 70 degrees and was cloudy most of the day. I have two boxes of pears I need to can, also, but they're not ripe enough yet.

Here's a sweet picture of Mischievo giving Little Miss Priss a hug this morning.
