a new hobby


i can't help it. it started with wanting to live outside a somewhat urban environment, then the yard drew me to it by gardening (I blame Barbara Kingsolver also), then somehow we heard about having chickens, and now canning. never in my life did i imagine that i would be canning food! tonight i canned 4 jars of cherries in wine. Bill bought an awesome book that we read within the week it arrived in the mail. it's 'well preserved' by eugenia bone. i know the jars of cherries won't last, i tasted them before i put the lids on and i'm already dreaming of how it'll be on top of a mound of ice cream, add a piece of brownie... yum.
