Canning
I went over to visit my neighbor Dominique this morning. I found her canning peaches.
These are fresh off the trees.![]()
She has a big ol stove to work on and seems to be enjoying her work.![]()
This is how she moves the jars of peaches around, especially when they are hot.![]()
I don’t remember if she was just starting these or they were just finishing up.![]()
Pickles
I didn’t get any peaches, but I did get a jar of fermented pickles she’d just made which were yummy.
Later
I was outside in the yard when I heard some one calling next door, so I had a look to see who was calling.
I found these tree guys getting ready to go to work on some of Tom’s trees at his driveway entrance.![]()
They just pulled the chipper in and were getting it set up to chip.![]()
The guys are lowering these smaller trees to keep them from hitting the power lines above.![]()
Eventually, Tom showed up. He wanted them to save the tree logs and not cut them up as he has something he wants to do with them.![]()
I spent the rest of the day puttering around the yard.
Nice day.
