Preparing for Winter...

Making use of a very HOT afternoon in August...

I try to get ready for winter in August...in years past, we would can MANY jars of green beans, cherries, grape juice, tomatoes, peaches, pears and dilly beans.

But now...it is hosing off all the beautiful silk flowers that make winter days lovely! Many of these were gifts for birthdays from my children....love them, and I never get tired of them! Especially those wonderful roses and hydrangeas!

It was great fun with my helper!

And this is a delightful way to get ready for winter!
I think Costco has replaced my "canning"!
