It probably wouldn't be as exhausting if I hadn't been up since 5 am since I couldn't sleep.
What a day! Picked peaches at 8, nephew's flag football game at 10, hair appt at 12:30 (highlight and cut, and I loved every minute of it ), cleaned green beans with DH from 3:30-5:30, dinner, canning prep...present.
But my first batch of pressure canning is almost complete. 2 more batches of beans to go tomorrow, a 1/2 bushel of peaches, and a batch of brocolli to blanch and freeze. I got 18 quarts of green beans so I'm excited to see how we do with the peaches. The shelves are getting stocked...and I'm wiped!!
Re: Canning is exhausting!
Oh no, no matter what time you wake, it's exhausting. It does help to do it on days that aren't overly hot. The heat in the kitchen is enough!
