Domestic Goddess!

There is something about this time of year that makes me turn very domestic ... well as domestic as I ever get. For the second year in a row (does that make it a tradition?) my sisters and I gather at my mom's house to spend a day, an entire day to bottle spaghetti sauce. Almost everything is garden fresh. They both grew the most impressive gardens this year.

It is a lot of work but so worth it. It is the most delicious spaghetti sauce you have tasted. We thoroughly enjoy our day together. Chatting and laughing and discussing life. How I love my sisters and these times we spend together.

(what a cheerful caner I am)
Our good friend and neighbor Laura Ann joined us this year.

I have also bottled salsa ... and some more salsa ...what else do you do with lugs and bushels of tomatoes?

My mom and I bottled her famous dill pickles.
Aren't they pretty. They are the best dill pickles you will ever taste!

I also made Spicy Peach jam and Strawberry Rhubarb jam. I am on a caning frenzy I tell ya!
