Come to the market...we've got what you need!

We raised $18.50 for Fetch A Cure last week! Thank you so much!!!! Let's give it a try for one more week! I'm so thrilled at all of your kind support for the animals!



It was a lovely market day last week! Shoppers were out looking for lots of goodies!





And, there were lots of goodies to be found!



Yummy stuff!





Need some freshly cut herbs?





We've got anything you need!



Have you made a tomato pie this year? Oh, they are so yummy!



Tasty potted herbs!



Don't forget about Kelly's dog treats! She even has samples for your fur-children!



Lots of good stuff!



Am I making you wish you had stopped by?



Well, here's your chance to come and shop locally! Didn't you say you needed some soap?





Or, some flowers?



Or, maybe you just want to swing by to say hi to Charlie!



He's waiting for you...



You know we take your picture...you can't hide!



Just smile...



Bring your furkids to say hi!



We love visitors! Dynamo stops by at various points in his bike riding adventures to say hi to us. Charlie just loves his dad!



See you Saturday bright and early!

Domestic Diva?

So, I keep an ongoing list of "things I wanna try" and canning tomatoes was on my list.



I know what you're thinking..."Why can them when you can buy them in the store?"



Well, like I was telling Dynamo...I have a bucket list and it's not like most people's! It's made up of those things I want to teach myself to do. And, canning tomatoes was one of those things!



So, I ordered myself two books, a canning kit, and 12 Weck canning jars (After much research I decided these are the best - no BPA!) and got to work!



They all sealed perfectly! I did 9 jars of whole tomatoes and 3 jars of crushed tomatoes.



And, while I was at it I made salsa and homemade sauce!



Just call me Martha!

And...when a friend asked me if I wanted some cucumbers to make pickles what do you think I said?



Of course!!!



Why not right? So, I dug out my Ga Ga's sweet pickle recipe and made 4 quarts!

Canning is a lot of work, but stuff really does taste better when you do it yourself at home!!



I'd done pickles before, but never tomatoes! And, we use a lot of tomatoes, so it just makes sense! I wonder what I'll do next? I am just grateful that Dynamo puts up with me completing my "things I wanna try" list!
