Canning this and that

7/13/07 - 6th Day - After Breakfast. Preparation of the Sabbath. The prognosticators are calling for the weather to turn wet again for the next week. As I type this there are storms way out to the west that are heading our way. The gardens could use the rain, and hopefully the change will cool it off some.

Yesterday Tracy and I canned tomatoes and green beans. We still haven't canned that much, but we have already canned more green beans than ever before - which isn't saying much. Chris Woods is supposed to be getting two goats and we are going to butcher them and can most of the meat for this winter. Don't know exactly when that is going to happen, but we'll see.

Logan and I walked down to the pigs yesterday and we are both getting the sinking feeling that our pigs are not pregnant after all. Won't know for 1 more month, but we thought they were going to drop piglets a month ago, and they are not looking any more pregnant. We'll see on that too. If our pig (Luella) is not pregnant she will go to the butcher at the end of August. That is our way of encouraging pig pregnancy - get pregnant or go to the butcher. Everyone else is doing fine here. We miss Robert already. He left for his one month trip yesterday.

Your servant in Christ Jesus,
