Very sad indeed.

Okay, not really.

We’ve also been assessing the house and what projects we want to tackle in preparation of selling. . . . → Read More: There’s a lot to be done]]> We have been canning. We’ve been canning a lot. There’s more canning to do. I detest canning. I say that every year toward the end of tomato canning season, but I start over again the following summer.

We’ve also been assessing the house and what projects we want to tackle in preparation of selling. It’s difficult to adjust the changes we’d make for ourselves and the things we’d do to make the property attractive to a potential buyer.

We’ve also dusted off D’s old resume and updated that. Searched the internet for potential jobs in areas we might like to relocate in. Daunting.

Today marks the first round of tomato canning from the garden.  A small batch,  10 1/2 quarts.

I hate it while I’m doing it, but I love it when I can grab a big jar out of the pantry . . . → Read More: Tomato Canning Season Begins]]> Ah, the joy, the satisfaction, the aching back and legs.

I hate it while I’m doing it, but I love it when I can grab a big jar out of the pantry on a snowy winter day.

Onward…to the Advil bottle.

We are still here.

Much canning of tomatoes and assorted veggies, a big ol’ batch of apple butter & apple pie filing, and canned butter (oh yes, you can do that) has taken a big chunk of time.  . . . → Read More: But I have an excuse…]]> I looked at the blog(s) today and noticed that I have not posted since, well, forever.

We are still here.

Much canning of tomatoes and assorted veggies, a big ol’ batch of apple butter & apple pie filing, and canned butter (oh yes, you can do that) has taken a big chunk of time.  There was also the clay oven we build that took a few weekends, see here.  Then, I just got tired…

Oh!  Also, I decided to try knitting.  Just another thing to do.  Boy, am I having trouble with tension.  The end of my rows are fine, but the middle seems to be just really so tight.  Any suggestions on that?

Hopefully, things will start to settle down to a more normal pace and I can post a bit more frequently.

Except for, you know, that whole holiday thing…

<sigh>
