Canning And A quilt

33 PINTS OF PINEAPPLE/PINA

Oh my gosh!!!

We've been canning since last Friday,
a few hours here a few there. (After work)



We finally finished up today.

7 QUARTS CHILI, 3 QUARTS VEGGIE BROTH



2 1/2 GALS. TOMATO VEGGIE MIX

The pineapple will be lunch bag snacks,

kabob fillers, diced for cookies, ham additive,

could even be squashed and simmered for syrup over pancakes.

(Use your imagination.)

The veggie broth is a beautiful amber color,
looks like a French Onion Soup starter.

Onion and garlic skins/ends with celery ends

simmered then strained and canned.

(Used the waste from the Tomato Veggie mix.)

The Tomato Veggie mix is toms, celery, onion, garlic,

mixed color bell peppers and dried chilies.

No seasonings, we'll use this base for tacos, spaghetti sauce,

pico de gillo, guacamole, lasagna, spanish rice ETC. 

Even managed to make a few batches of soap,

mow some of the lawn weeds, clean house and do laundry.

The temps. have been in the high 70's for the last 3 days

so I was able to hang the laundry out and

open the doors for some much needed fresh air.

Snow predicted on Tuesday, damm darn bipolar Texas weather.

Steve planted the carrot seeds, the lettuce, spinach and more of the onions.

We're spacing the onion plantings so they don't all come in at the same time.

Sure do want to finish that quilt.





THIS IS A CRAZY QUILT I DID YEAR BEFORE LAST



CLOSE UP







I think I spy some of the rose fabric from the placemats in the lower left corner of the quilt close up.

Frugal me.

Well, thats all I got!!

Till next time.

Where Has All The Laundry Gone, Long Time Passing!!!

SO...

When life things happen to me, my mind usually goes to a song.

Such as,
Where Have All The Flowers Gone by Peter, Paul & Mary.

That's where my mind went today when I ventured outside to retrieve my laundry off the line.

I hung it out late yesterday afternoon.

I said to myself, it will be Ok till tomorrow. I pegged it down really well,
I swear!

Well, today was very, very windy.

I guess you know where this is going.

Where has all the laundry gone?

Sheets, quilts, pillowcases.

M.I.A.

I thought about taking a photo but I didn't want ya'll to see how tall my
grass weeds are.

If it wasn't for the tall grass weeds,

 my laundry would be in Walker Creek!

Reminder to self, you live on a hill, out in the country, in Texas, it's windy!!!!

Hope ya'll have a happy and bountiful Thanksgiving.

Till next time,

Bonjour
