This is how our day went

Today was one of those days where everything just fell in place. I absolutely enjoy days like this. We discovered that our beets, squash, cabbage, and broccoli, needed to be picked and preserved.  Mother and I always work together preserving the produce. 


We were up early this morning, dh gathered the beets, while I was getting all of my canning supplies ready.
Here they are with tops cut off, and washed.

What a pretty site, we made pickled beets, There is a lot of work that goes into pickling any vegetable, but beets seem to have a little extra. My house smells so good tonight.lol

But all of the extra work is most certainly worth the effort. If by chance you see something yellow in the jars, well, that is our first picking of yellow squash.

We ended up with 16pts. and 4qts., of pickled beets, with more to come this week, 7 qts. of yellow squash, 4 large bags of cabbage, 8 bags of broccoli.
Not bad for a days work. EH!
  
This seems like a busy week for me, tomorrow, if the Lord wills, I will be caulking on the porch . God has given us a reprieve from the heat wave we were under. I really want to get a lot done this week. 


I guess that just about takes care of my day, I hope yours was filled with many blessings, After visiting some of you tonight I have a date with my sweetie to go sit in the swing and drink hot chocolate. Yum! 
Did I mention I have berries to pick too. Whew!
Hugs,
