Summer Affair.............gone but not forgotten

 Each year from Labor Day to New Year's Day my son confesses to an affair with someone named Summit.  He obviously is infatuated with Summit as he returns to this "mistress" year after year.  As for me, my summer affair is with "Mason".............in the South, we call 'em mason jars.  And my goal each summer is to fill all that I can.  No vegetable left behind.  So here's how I spent my summer vacation.  (Oh and by the way, Summit--don't you love that name for a girl--is the maker of deer stands.)



tomatoes, .......and more tomatoes, ............and you get the picture



pickles, 2 types to tomato sauce








Summer's Bounty

Hot and humid makes my garden grow.............and grow.........and grow.  Strawberries have long been gone.  Now replaced by larger red beauties, I'm spending my summer vacation (after work and on weekends) canning tomatoes, tomato sauce, and salsa.  A large basket of cucumbers is calling my name so I'll have to run.  Don't want to be accused of "veggie abuse".  "Vacation photos to follow."  Anyone else canning or freezing?
