Canning

McCall and I headed for Wendell early Monday morning to can peaches while Diesel stayed with my sister. We had about 12 bushel to can. I was excited to experience the Dimond way of canning, because Ruth has canned for many years and is basically a professional. She had quite the set-up. We had three water baths going and it went pretty quick. 


We only got half done on Monday and we counted 150 quarts. 
McCall had too much fun playing in the dirt piles and picking Grandma Dimonds apples. She was pooped when we got in the car to leave. She fell asleep mid-cookie. 



When I got home that night, Mark informed me that my Grandpa Klingler called him that day to go get beans from them. I wasn't too excited about jumping right into beans but Mark was awesome and helped me snap and process them. Now on to pears. . .
