Token canning...

I put up pears last night.  Seven jars.  Whoopee! 

Hey, for me that is something.  I can sew all the live-long day, but I detest canning.  I would almost rather sit through a Chuck Norris movie, but not quite.  And since both things make Brad happy, I choose the fruit.  Next week it's peaches.  If I ration them out right (one jar every 2.5 weeks) by next summer there will still be a couple left. 

So here's to small victories.  And here's to enjoying the best time of year... fall!  Apple pie, cool nights and warm days, Halloween, falling leaves and flowers having a grand finale.  I love it.

Here is the newest 'love of my life'....  Claire!
Isn't she cute?!

I love the picture and yay for pears! And BTW we weren't at the scout auction either--church is still true!

I was hoping you'd post a baby pic. So adorable!!!
I canned some salsa, first time. I can't get my family to eat canned peaches/pears, so no need to bother.
