No, although I can. I don't enjoy food preservation at all.
In past years, getting canning supplies has been a "bear" as well.

@ECBG I just was wondering what you are going to do with 10 bags of tomatoes before they go bad. They only last a few days.

They were bought separately and used, not bought at once.

My husband is related to a gentleman who owns a large tomato farm. He truck farms them and has a big business where they are sold by family and friends. We get tomatoes and I do can for the winter rather than buying canned ones. It's not a big deal with a pressure cooker and those are so safe nowadays, unlike when my mother and grandmother canned around 100 jars per year. I only do about a dozen. I guess I am lazy. LOL I give a couple jars to a friend who gives me some fig preserves. I cannot deal with figs as I am allergic to the raw ones but LOVE the preserved ones. I cannot work with them or eat them until they are preserved. I love them on buttered biscuits or toast.

I'm with OP, jean jackets. I have many in my wardrobe to choose from. Here in central Maryland I never know what the weather will be for fall and winter. Last winter I only had to wear the heavy coat a few times, every other day it was my Isaac hoodie coat because it was pretty mild with not a lot of snow. Fall is usually warm-mild and we don't see cooler temps until around Thanksgiving.
