Labor Day (a day to labor)


We (Jon, Mom K, Me) envied these two on Monday evening. We spent ALL day canning peaches. My word my parents got A TON (o.k. it was about 300 lbs) of peaches. And by 2:30 am Tuesday it did not look as if we made a dent in the peach pile. We were able to see the fruits of our labor. We canned 48 quarts, 12 8 oz jars of jam, and made fruit leather. And that’s just my parents stash. Jon and I will be quite sick of peaches by the end of the week when we (hopefully) are finished with our stash. But it is so worth it, and we will be happy to have all these peaches ready to eat and bake with all winter (and longer) long. Oh, and Lamby is back. You can see him snuggled in Kaylee’s arms. She is suffering with a head cold, cutting her 2 year old molers, and on top of that a UTI. Poor kid woke up the other night screaming in a state of feverish delirium that she needed Lamby. So Lamby she was given. She’s good about only having Lamby to sleep with so it’s just fine that Lamby is back. She has been on antibiotics for 2 days and is already back to her old self. Yea for modern medicine and for my Mom recognizing the signs of a UTI and insiting we take a trip to instacare. I’ve never had one so I didn’t know…..
