Almost done

​

Today I started early  I was continuously chopping up tomatoes 

While I had two pots cooking them down  it was  much better way of cooking them  

I had two nonstick pans going at the same time.  cooking time was reduced and I was able to get the sauce into the jars quickly 

They don’t look big  but they actual held a lot of the chopped tomatoes 

Once I had finished chopping as many tomatoes as I could I started the water baths   I was beginning to get very sore legs and ankles standing all that time 

The tall pot for the tall jars and the short pot for the rest 

The top bench has the jars I made from the first box  I didn’t quite finish that box  I added what was left into the one box and threw out the empty one  

All jars on the red tea towel were made today 

This is all the tomatoes that are left 

Tomorrow I’ll get hubby to pick all our peppers from the garden. I’ll chop those up and add them to the tomatoes. 

That sauce will be excellent for spaghetti sauce 

Baby girl and family arrived bringing pizzas for dinner 

It was nice to just sit and enjoy talking with her and son in law. 

The girls, as usual, amused themselves 

They were very excited as the school term was over and they now get a few weeks holiday 

I can’t believe the first term is over. It felt like they started the new year just a few weeks ago 

They left for home loaded with bags of odd and ends. I like buying them clothes when I see something on special. Baby girl scored the best. A couple of cardigans, a coat, and two pairs of boots. We have the same size feet 

I bought those boots for me but they’re lighter colours and I didn’t feel comfortable in them. 

Like mutton dressed as lamb

So I’ve kept the black and dark brown ones. And she’s scored the light brown and off white ones 

And of course eggs, some tomatoes and chocolate Easter eggs 

I hope they enjoy all their spoils
