I am waiting for the magical "ping" sound that cans make as they seal. I have 6 quart jars full of chopped tomatoes just out of a hot water bath. 45 minutes of steaming up the house. I hope it was not in vain. Please oh please jars make that magical ping sound that means you are sealed.

In 2 weeks from tonight I will be packed and waiting to leave for Vegas the following morn. I am going a bit earlier than normal this year, but will be going for a friend's birthday. It is right in the middle of back to school, bear hunting, and dock season (we have a dock and boat lift business). Not sure how it is all going to work- but hopefully more smoothly than I am imagining!

We now have 4 beautiful brown eggs from our chickens. We got 18 chix in the middle of April. These are the first eggs they have laid. I was so excited- maybe too excited.

Ohhhh! wait- 2 more!
I can relax and go to bed now. Phew!

That's neat, to can your tomatoes, and to have fresh eggs- whoohhooo!
trade you 2 jars of my pickles for one jar of your tomatoes and 2 eggs :-)
I love that quotation!
Vegas sounds so fun. I'll be meeting some girlfriends there next June. I'm already unbelievably excited even though we've barely set a date - let alone made any reservations. It's been years since I've gotten together with these friends, so it will be so much fun to see them again.
Really enjoyed rading your blog and thanks for sending me the link. My mom and I make jam every year so the PING is a beautiful sound.
sweet dreams...well deserved rest after so much canning yummy tomatoes. I'm waiting for your egg portraits...eggs are so beautiful.
Mwaah! Big Kiss!
Did you really just get me to click on a link to your chickens facebook page.....
Dear Lord...
Now all I need to do is "Friend" a bunch of chickens, for my wife to know I am truly crazy.
Thanks Jules.
