Today my Mum taught me how to do some canning! She had picked up a giant case of peaches a few days earlier and they were perfectly ripe (Hyrum ate three of them for breakfast). After soaking them in hot then cold water and cutting them all up we put them in jars and water bathed them. I can't wait to break into a jar when we get home. I'm sure Hyrum will be in heaven.
We took a brief afternoon break and relaxed in the living room. Camilla was out with Grampa for the afternoon hanging bird houses and sweeping out the garage. Hyrum snuggled into Gramma's shoulder and fell asleep. I can't think of a better place to have an afternoon nap. Our salsa was put on hold for a while, but Gramma got some awesome cuddles!
After he woke up we mixed up the salsa and put it in jars. I am proud to say that they all sealed (thanks to my Mum) and now we get to enjoy fresh salsa over the winter (if it lasts that long)!
And on another note, check out this mammoth zucchini that grew in my parent's garden. We put a peach beside it for size comparison. I think my mum said it weighs 17lbs or something. It's honestly almost as big as Hyrum.
