The past few days I have been canning peaches and some other stuff. It has been a very rewarding chore. I say chore only because it is a lot of work, but I really enjoy canning.
We got our peaches from some friends in the neighborhood. All of the kids were very good pickers. On the way home the other night we loaded up the peaches in our wagon. There was just enough room for Emery to squeeze in the back. I was worried she would pull the peaches out of the bucket and drop them over the side. Ought Oh is her new favorite game. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked back and she was holding one peach nice and steady in her hands.
About half a block later I looked back and...
Here she is helping me today with tomato soup.
My house has been totally neglected because I'm too busy putting things in jars, and Emery is busy taking everything out of the cupboards and the garbage can! (That is a rotten tomato that she got out of the garbage can, which was conveniently located in her reach. I decided to let her make a bigger mess while I got out the camera. She was proud of her smashterpiece on the floor!) Honestly though, I have amazing children who have been very very helpful. They love to pick the garden and see our home grown food all lined up in bottles!
