Hi Chris and Holly. So excited that you will be canning pears. I am thinking of doing some peaches but haven't decided yet. They are really expensive so I probably won't can them unless I can find them at a Farmers' Market. I haven' t canned peaches or pears in a long time.

How is your kitty doing? It is so great that you added a family member to your apartment.

The flowers are so pretty. Congratulations on growing your first carrots. Carrots are so good canned but are more of those vegetables that takes forever to can. They have to be cold packed for three hours once they come to a boil!!

I hope Charlie doesn' t have anymore problems. It is good he has given up alcohol. That can cause a whole lot of additional problems. I pray that he continues to get well.

Have a great evening.
Hugs
John and Debbie

I’m glad your brother is ok now! That must have been a very tough time for all of you. So nice to share vegetables from your garden. The first carrot looks so good! Way to go Holly!

We’re going to have stormy weather today. I’m going to put on some meditation music and try to stay calm. I love reading your journal in the morning. Keep writing and gardening! You’re super gifted at both:). Love to everyone:)
