freezing

Behind

We are feeling a bit behind. We should have frozen peaches and canned pears by now.We haven't picked them all yet because our counter is covered with un processed fruit.We have our first batch of grape juice in the refrigerator ready waiting to be canned. I'm trying not to think about the rest of the grapes on the vines, the raspberries it has been too wet and mosquitoy to pick, and the potatoes still to be dug.Yeah, we're kinda behind.I even told the boys I'd bake a pie if they came home this weekend. They didn't fall for that.---Why did I spend much of today making a larger back pack for Miss Petunia who says that her kindergarten back pack is too small for a first grader?
