Canning Day

Last night I worked on getting the outside kitchen burners prepared.

The weeds are cleared around it.

I bought a couple of new inserts for the big blue enamel pots to that hold the quart jars.

The apricots are getting ripe. They are much smaller this year. Some ripen before others.

The peaches are breaking down the tree in front. The girls and I made 18 half pints of peach jam and one pint of peach jam a couple of days ago.

Yesterday it was very hot. By far the hottest day of the year. We were more than tripple digits. It makes the 99 degree forcast today seem like a cooling trend.

We are headed to Modest to investigate what needs to be done with my sick Ipod. Its got the dreaded red x with the circle around it. Some folks on the web say that all it needs is a fresh upload of ITunes. I have patiently worked through the steps to get it recognized through the disc modes but it will not go. Others on the web say that when you get that sign, you ipod is toast. They recommend you getting it to the nearest apple store for a replacement.

A replacement "allows" you the oppportunity to pick and choose your on board music and entertainment package. The Ipod is 120 gb.. so not a great amount of sorting snd sifting has had to be done. I like it, I have it, its on it.

Have a great day.
