Another thing that I have not done in quite a few years is can.  Jessi decided that she would like to learn to can some things for Josiah.  So last week, we drove to Hood River and bought some peaches, pears and apples.  The peaches were ready by today and so we got them all in jars today.  And even after all the years, EVERY one of them sealed!  What a magical sound that little 'pop' is.  If you have never canned, you probably have no idea what I am talking about, but it is the best noise ever to hear the lid 'pop' down as they cool and seal shut.  Next will be applesauce and as soon as the pears are ready we will tackle them.
