Thank you Mary Anne for this sweet post. It reminded me of my sweet mother and "home." She canned so many things. Although I have not canned anything with a "canner", I do have her canning equipment, and I am hoping to learn one day. After my sweet mother passed away, I found myself making crock pot apple butter and some freezer type jams for the first time, all of which I enjoyed very much. It seemed to make me feel closer to my mom. I was raised on good garden foods. We always had plenty of good, healthy foods canned and/or frozen to enjoy. Oh, she made many things....green beans, squash relish, kraut, many varieties of pickles, jams, jellies, canned okra, apple rings, many relishes, etc.. My husband's favorite was her spaghetti sauce. It was awesome. I think there is nothing better than a simplistic life. I love to be at home and work in my kitchen. Canning is hard work, and many times, it seems people aren't appreciative enough when others take the time to bless them through the work of their hands and time. In this day and time, people spend so many hours outside of the home, working to pay for their home, and it is a shame more people can't just enjoy being at home more. I truly love to be at home and am so thankful for it.
Your walk with your fur babies reminds me of my talks with my little one...he is my special little guy, and we take lots of walks and have some good talks too! I do believe he listens! Sometimes I even have to "spell", so I'm pretty sure he listens....(you know...when you mention "BATH"!)
I always enjoy your heartful posts. I hope your canned goods turn out beautiful and you get a lot of enjoyment from them. Bless you!

@Still keeper of the koi---you should take pictures of your canned things so we can admire. I use to water bath can with a girlfriend years ago--tomatos, peaches, pears---and they were so pretty!! Was alot of work but so good during the winter time. And helped SIL with canning in her enormous canner too. Good memories!!!
