Washing tomatoes
One of Mom's plans for the week was to have her girls help her can tomatoes. Monday morning Julie and I picked blueberries, but in the afternoon all of us girls canned tomatoes. Even Lauren arrived in time to peel tomatoes. Mom spent the afternoon selling blueberries and sweet corn at the market with Logan, while we girls put up fifty-four quarts and four pints of stewed tomatoes.

A big job well done!
ReplyDeletewow...if that was Monday I'm wondering what the rest of the week holds...
ReplyDeleteI'm quite pleased to confirm that I wasn't there.
ReplyDeleteMany hands make...lots of jars of tomatoes! Can only imagine how wonderful they will taste in mid-winter.
