PEACHES!!

I have soo many peaches! I have so far made 7 half pints of peach preserves. Tonight, I plan on making peach cobler and was hoping Ash would help me make canned peaches. Also, I am going to ask Luke help me blanch and freeze a bunch of peaches to put in the garage freezer my step-grandparents are giving us. Holly peaches! I just hate it when things go to waiste!

Ash also wants to make jalapeno jelly. Luke is making me wear gloves. Probably a very smart idea since when I tried to make "spicy pickles" my finger nails tasted spicy for three days!

I just hope my pickles taste good. The recipe book says tons of time NOT to alter the recipes, so I thought it would be a good idea. I had to, though, because the recipe called for something like 8lbs of cucumbers and I would never have that many ripe at the same time. Plus, I added in some okra. They will be ready in a couple weeks; I'll let everyone know how they are..

BTW... yesterday I decided that we HAD to mow and weed eat the yard. I had no idea how hard it was to weed eat! By the end of it I wanted to cry. It is pretty heavy and it vibrates really hard and that makes your hands numb. Plus, the cord keeps getting shorter and shorter, so I constantly had to stop and re-do the cord. Also, one of the cords kept getting stuck and I had to do surgery on the weed eater, which really slowed down my time. Luke said he felt bad all day long because he was so happy I was weed eating and he wouldn't have too. I was more tired from weed eating for one hour than I have been after running a marathon! And today my back hurts!
