Tons of tomatoes
I am not kidding when I say tons- I think 13 big box or bushels, whatever they call them.
Kelly, Brenda and the crew spend a couple of days peeling, quartering and canning all the tomatoes. I decided to try and make salsa with some of the loot.
Pretty peppers from my garden. Just out of curiosity why does the rhyme go "pick a peck of pickled peppers?" Wouldn't be better to say a peck of peppers for pickling or a peck of pickling peppers?
Boiling diced tomatoes
All the good stuff in
The final product- I use vinegar instead of lime juice - not so good. Lucky for me Kelly made some with lime juice and gave me a jar. Now I know not to follow the checkered cookbook recipe.
Merry was my partner in crime. She loved peeling the skins off of the tomatoes.
This is what Gracie did while we worked. I love her little dimply knuckles and chunky wrists
Another visit to the pumpkin patch. Merry just woke up from a nap. My sister Ann came with her family. We had a great time partying as always.

I can't believe you like canning. all those tomatoes are making me shudder, but the salsa looks quite yummy. and I like the picture of gracie sleeping. every good canning party needs a sleepy baby.
Looks like loads of fun! I have no idea about the pickled pepper rhyme. But it's a good question. Cute pic of Grace sleeping. Good times!
Wow Beth!! You are amazing as always! Way to go on your salsa... and I love all the Gracie (spelling) pictures. She is such a gorgeous baby. I know I tell you all the time. But she really is.
