canning!

woke up this morning and realized that i have so much canning to do! right now. peaches, dilly beans, pickles, and jams. and that's only this month! i do love summer and canning but it all comes down on me so fast.
Just received a 5 gallon bucket of green beans from my wonderful friends at 3 stones farm. So that means dilly beans tomorrow. or to sound cool "lacto-fermented green beans" ! So it feels good to finally get going on some canning. If i can get the van to the shop and keep the kids happy that is.
My kids always seem restless when we don't have a van. it's like they know we don't have the option of going anywhere and it drives them nuts. every day like this i realize how much more patience and love i need. it's just not in me. but i know God can supply it and He does. this is good work i am doing and he always gives me what i need to do it. sometimes i just need to ask.
Josh has been working his tail off lately trying to get the chicken coop done before these chickens start laying! He's an incredible husband.
