Wow, you're canning! I'm impressed, Kim. That's a dying art these days.

Indeed, I only know one other person besides you who is close to my age and

knows how to can. Good for you!

 

I would love to do it again, if I had a garden. North Texas is not very

conducive to growing much of anything to eat.

to accept oneself,

to love oneself.

Thanks Nichole, but I hardly do any these days, just little bits here

and there

 

When I was first married we had an old house with lots of established

fruit trees - several types of plum, a very impressive quince tree,

figs, mulberries, lemons and even an orange tree. I would bottle (we

call it bottling in Australia) fruit, make jams and jellies, and even

make and bottle home made Aussie tomato sauce (the condiment, not the

cooking variety). I suppose I've just got a little lazy, and a lot too

busy, these days.
