Good morning world! Another busy day planned here on the farm. My weekly chore of ironing and mending, one piece to iron and several to mend. Add school this morning, get the rest of the freezers cleaned out and defrosted, and hopefully canning some pinto beans too. Ran out of canned beans and they are so handy to have. Short on time? Grab a couple of jars of canned beans, one of dry canned rice, and make some cornbread. Presto, supper is served!
I think I am getting the canning fever! If I have time, I will be heading out to the blackberry patches to pick blackberries too. Blackberry cobbler and pie filling, blackberry jam, and blackberry syrup. Yummy. Although they are not on my eating plan, my family likes them.
I was chatting with someone on a canning facebook group last night. She has been canning almost non-stop since Friday. Sounds like fun to me. She had a list very long of things she had made and canned. I was hoping to get my canning shelves filled up with produce from my garden. Might not happen as the over abundance of rain and flooding has caused my garden to be more of a haven for weeds instead of what we planted. We will get some, just not as much as I planned.
Do you garden? Play in the dirt? I think of it as theraputic. Almost as much as painting.
The Bible makes references to planting, pruning, sowing and reaping. So gardening is biblical too, in a sense. There are at least 24 direct references to a garden in the Bible, not to mention the many references Jesus used in His parables.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 NIV
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
