April PreservationsAccording to my chart, this is my catch up month. I still have some mushrooms to dehydrate and a few jars of beans to cook up, but yesterday I had my wonderful sister-in-law (and my precious 2yr old niece) over to can up the rest of the stocks I needed. We actually ended up canning much more than that! I think we made a total of 49 pints of stock. Now, to all you crazy constant caners, that may not sound like a lot, but considering I’d been using my crock pot and canning 4 at a time, that’s insane! It took us all day, but I’m grateful to be able to share my knowledge with her and spend some serous quality time together.

Update:
Book That is. I'm sorry. I know I already posted today, but I also started in on a new book and wanted to give you the opportunity to read along with me.
It's the first of April and it happens to be a Saturday, so Caveman and I decided to do a little home improvement. When we moved in the the caretakers apartment here, we knew there was quite a bit of work to do, and we got a lot done early on. But lately we've gotten into a rut. Yesterday Caveman suggested that we fix the light in the living room, so we did! Here's how it turned out: Too bad the new fixture and ceiling tile make everything else look so dingy. I think replacing the older tiles might be on our to do list. I'm just happy we have a real light fixture now. What do you think?
