I don't know how you do it with so many interruptions: kindergarten, teaching piano, not to mention the 1,000 other little housework and meal prep stuff that have to go on amidst the chaos--I mean mothering.

I'd love to see a picture of those filled shelves -- I'm sure it's impressive. Yesterday I also put away the last of the canning supplies with a hurrah. I feel like I spent all early fall canning. But my meager tally of finished jars shows otherwise. Huh? Then I realized i just spent all early fall cleaning up the kitchen and washing bottles in PREPARATION to can, only to have something come up that took my time and focus, ending the canning chance for the day. Next day, same thing. So I think my biggest crop was frustration. I can’t even imagine the scope of your canning work. I’d love to see a picture of those filled shelves — I’m sure it’s impressive.
