All in a days work

So you saw pictures of that huge huge garden and what comes along with that is canning!! This is not an easy task, it's so time consuming but the pay off is excellent. The fresh tomatoes are so so good but unfortunately our stomachs are only so big.


The the salmon of course, we caught twenty in all so we decided to smoke some and freeze some. These were smoked first and then canned. If only I could open one of them and eat!! Six more days till I can eat fish and I can't wait.

Then their are the brussel spouts, man they are huge!!! Just look at em, mini Christmas trees. I grilled some up tonight with some olive oil and garlic mmmmm. It's funny how good veggies can taste when it's the only thing you can eat.

Below is cabbage but it's in such a unique form, not your typical cabbage. It looks like a rose bud only green. I think that will be my lunch tomorrow.

All the flavors you want, hot peppers, sweet peppers, peppers with a little kick. What do you like? We got it :)

Then after all that canning I made a hat, yep better start working on those Christmas presents when I'm on vacation because once I'm back to work I fear I'll have time for nothing once again.

I forgot about all the things I love to do. It's been great to really do the things that I've put on the back burner but that truly make me who I am. Making this hat just reminded me of how therapeutic arts and crafts can be, well to me at least. It's my outlet and I need it in my life. I will just have to work less and craft more, I can do that :)

What a beautiful close to a beautiful day, a full moon.
