Pickles :-)

Today we canned some bread and butter pickles. It's been years since we last did any canning, and I no longer have my big canning pot. So until we have the proper equipment, batches are just going to remain small. I can tell you I was pretty nervous listening to the jars dancing in the boiling water because there was no rack to hold them.

Cucumbers, bell peppers, sweet banana peppers, all from our garden.

They look like they turned out fine. Now---the long wait, not opening any for at least 4 weeks. Haven't tried the tomato preserves yet, either.

In other news, if you love cats, or even remotely like cats, you must watch Nora play the piano! Nora even had a concerto written for her, a CATcerto!

The Conference this year will be in Nashville. Sounds like fun. More later...
