My favorite weather guy dropped a bomb on me today..... We have more SNOW on the way....I'm trying not to have self-pity, but I really need some sunshine! I need to be able to DRIVE! I need to GO SOMEWHERE! I need to try to buy some sunshine!
I must say that being stuck indoors has given me a lot of time to catch up on some reading.
I have spent a good bit of time these past few days reading and thinking and thinking some more..................Seems that gardening and growing your own fruits and vegetables is a big topic right now.
I think this is an adventure that I might want to embark upon.
Peas.....Green Beans....Squash....Hot Sauce....Jams....Jellies....Pickles.... anything that will CAN!
I have made jelly before..I have made Hot Sauce....I have made Pear Relish...but several years have passed me by and I have forgotten all the techniques of being a real pioneer woman!
Will it be that difficult for me to remember the challenges of canning? I am actually looking forward to it. I can already see the great rewards of doing this for my family.
Fun! Fun! Fun..............
Hey...I welcome any recipes for canning! Seriously, Send them my way PLEASE!
Fresh Veggies.................
I just need Spring to hurry up and get here and I need a little SUNSHINE!
Sure hope our local feed store will be able to meet all of my gardening needs! Gotta have a good garden in order to have something to CAN!!
Yes...I think I'm taking some great steps towards a new stage in my life.....
Woo Hoo.....Bring on the SUNSHINE!!!!
Shug Sez......
Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy! Did I tell you that "I love the LORD?"
I can't wait for my first lesson. As soon as your hands heal, we are hitting the kitchen. You make the best homemade hot sauce.

Sounds great & I know you can do it - sister Molly had a big garden last year and canned some delcious stuff - I'll tell Elaine to be on the lookout for jars!!
ReplyDeleteHi Shug!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that you posted a very nice comment on my blog! Thank you, I love seeing new faces and I love meeting new friends!
what a wonderful and inviting blog! I have enjoyed my time here! I love to can, I usually have a large garden and try to preserve as much as I am able...sometimes, it lacks! I love canning, chili sauce, salsa, canned green beans, tomatoes, really just about anything I can put in a jar.I I don't have fruit trees, but I do love to can applesauce, apple butter, and applepie filling, yum!
You know, just reading your blog made me feel a bit sunnier! I live in Idaho and it has been cold here! We have sun, so at least I'm not feeling deprived, but it's sooooo cold outside!
See you again!
Blessings,
Barb
