Home Canned Salsa and Diced Tomatoes...

Last Friday, while Trey was tuning pianos near Ryan and Amanda, I was able to spend a little time helping the nesting mother. We accomplished a lot and had a wonderful visit! Justus was a joy to spend time with, (although, he was very disturbed upon seeing me put the baby gate up in preparation to mop the kitchen floor.:0) He very seriously went and told mamma all about it. After explaining to him that the floor was dirty and we where going to make it all clean, he contentedly waited nearby. Upon seeing the freshly mopped floor, he declared, "All clean!"


Justus loves to have books read to him and has several memorized. I was quite surprised when he sat through all of Green Eggs and Ham. Amanda said it was the first time he had made it through the book without having large pieces omitted.

What a fun time we had all together!

Amanda blessed me with the excess of her garden, by giving me two nice sized boxes of tomatoes! Upon seeing them Trey's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, do you think we could make salsa out of them?" He LOVES homemade salsa! 

A few days passed before I had a chance to process them, but soon all those plump tomatoes became salsa and diced tomatoes! There were 10 pints of salsa and 7 pints of diced tomatoes. Trey was like a kid on Christmas day!







Thank you Amanda!
