The Busy Season

Tomatoes are finally ripe and most mornings find us at the farm harvesting tomatoes. Then back home for a quick bite to eat and shower before dropping Proeun off at work. After nap time time to can said tomatoes. Yes this year I learned to can. All year I was collecting jars and I finally bought a canner. Now our basement shelves are steadily filling with not only tomatoes but apricots, pears, peaches, nectarines, rhubarb sauce, pickled green beans and apple sauce. Today I was canning pears and apple sauce. Hourly wages definitely don’t apply here.  But it is such a sense of accomplishment. I’ll write more soon.
