More Late-night Canning....

So, here we are Friday night canning again.  It's so nice to do it when Josh can help and when I know the kids won't be up before I'm done.  It's after midnight and the last canner of peaches is almost done.  Josh got a little excited about the peaches when he saw how nice they looked at the grocery store and bought 3 of them.  (They had looked really green last week.)  We ended up with 32 jars!  That'll last a while:).  Last night we were up past midnight canning Chokecherry juice.  Josh and I are pretty tired, but it feels really good to get it done.

We had an amazing farmer's market again today.  I had made a batch of Chokecherry syrup and a batch of CC Jelly this week to sell....I sold out of both plus 8 loaves of bread & most of the veggies I brought!  It's really nice to see the fruits of our labor turn into dollar bills!  (Hopefully the dollar bills will turn into a new washer and dryer this winter.  Mine are slowly ummm...deteriorating?  Josh already replaced the belt in the dryer a year or so ago, but now it's making a thumping noise...some days louder than others.  The washer has been working well lately, but sometimes it stops spinning-when full of water-and I have to pick it up a little and drop it to get it to start again.:)  I just hope they both last until we're ready to get new ones.)

Well, the canner is done.  Time to go to bed!  Good Night!
