Holidays...



Wow.  I am such a bad blogger!  I had all these ideas for posts over the holidays, and never made time to sit at the computer.  Now the holidays are long gone! 

We've been eating food from the the garden all through the winter...  We haven't had a day without something there to eat since we picked the first morsel.  I just LOVE that idea-  that you can, with a few seeds, create your own supermarket year round.  

So, anyway, one of the posts I've been saving about all this time was about my mom and I canning together-  I took apples up to Virginia for Thanksgiving that I'd picked up in Ellijay on a "apple drive" in the fall with my Dad and Michael.  Mom and I decided to can some apple pie filling-  it was so fun to work on it together.

Being honest I don't love the filling...  it turned out a little sour because of the lemon juice we added I think...  but, I am challenged to try it again.

We're ordering seeds now and getting ready to plant the spring garden...  more on that soon.  :)
