It's the beginning of a new week, and not just any week...it's the 'week of the 4th'. This is a busy time around my house. DH is on vacation from work and usually has a list a mile long, of things to do that he doesn't usually find time to do, otherwise. When you drive a truck for a living, and just have one day off each week, and a wife who can no longer 'work circles around you', 'stuff has a way of piling up. The list of things needing our attention continues to grow...and so does our garden...and the grass...the weeds. You get the idea.
On Saturday, Tom canned 28 quarts of green beans. He started early in the am, picking. He picked, he snapped, he cleaned, he prepared each quart and then processed them all in a pressure canner (7 jars at a time). He finished all this around 12:30am on Sunday morning. Why did he do this alone? Because it needed to be done and I just happened to be having an extremely bad day and was not any help to him, whatsoever. But, this is the man I married. He is indeed a rare jewel...I think I'll keep him!
