  1. You have a wonderful weekend, too; Easter will be a great celebration with just Bill and I here for church and a light meal when we get home. Some years are like that.
    I hope you are being patient with yourself….you will be feeling well again soon and in the meantime, we are all patient with you, okay?!

  2. When I was growing up on the farm, we canned or froze everything and raised our own meat as well. As an adult, I’ve only canned once with my mom when we made tomato-vidalia onion relish. Hubby doesn’t eat many veggies so we don’t garden, plus there are so many deer and other critters in our area, that we probably wouldn’t be able to even have a harvest! LOL Yours looks wonderful and seeing the dish towels with the jars on them brought back a lot of memories! Happy Easter, Joy! I pray you will be feeling better soon.

  3. Have a lovely Easter. Just loved your photos of vegetables, canned and frozen. There is nothing quite like the taste of homegrown tomatoes. Here in California, my tomato plants have yet to be purchased but that will happen soon. As well as eat them in salads and use them in recipes, I roast up batches and batches to make pasta sauce for the freezer.

  4. When I had all six kids still at home (mouths to feed as well as more hands to help), we had a large garden and froze lots of the produce as well as making lots of spaghetti sauce and canning fruits from nearby farms. I have slowed down a lot these days, but hope to do more this year again (if summer ever comes to northern Michigan, USA).

  5. Fresh veggies right from the garden ready for canning! I how I miss the days when I had a garden.

    Thank you for the great pattern.

  6. I love seeing home grown veges canned or frozen like you are doing. Last year I made some spaghetti sauce for the first time and my husband loved it so that will be my priority this summer in NY with Roma tomatoes. Take your time posting your next block as we will all be here waiting. It will be cute knowing your talents. Have a blessed Easter.

  7. The time does seem to be going faster than ever, I seem to be chasing my tail all the time…. sadly I have had no luck growing things to eat…. can never keep up the watering….

  8. Hi Joy, it is frustrating to be behind. Have you found out anymore about u our being tired? I had a Bone Marrow Biopsy this week for unexplained anemia. Dr. appointment April 11th. Tired of being tired and I imagine you are also. Your frozen and canned produce looks yummy. Is that zucchini? Do you blanch yours? Happy Easter! Thankful for a risen Savior! Nancy
