As many of you know I have been using my friend Tammy’s pressure cooker to can some vegetables.   So far I have canned 22 quarts of squash.

Our neighbor gave me a bucket of green beans since mine haven’t come in yet and my 82 year old mother-in-law helped me snap them.

Afterwards, I canned 6 quarts.

I also built a contraption for my youngest flock of hens to enjoy. I know hens prefer wood, but these shelf racks are like ladders to these girls. They love them!
