Canning and canning some more.

As I type the sun has long since set and night is upon us. I look back on this day and consider it a day well spent. We were able to process 65 ears of corn for the freezer which is a great feeling. That corn will taste amazing this winter. We also put away 6 quarts each of beans and potatoes. I also found myself canning 7 quarts of pickled cauliflower and cucumber slices that I didn't intend to can. Someone left me a bag of produce on my porch yesterday that couldn't wait until another day to be canned. I really didn't intend to can more pickles but couldn't think of any other way to preserve them. I am sure they will be appreciated by either us or someone at some point in the next year.
