All Jammed and Jellied Out...

In the past 3 weeks the following domestic activities have been completed at our house:
  • 5 gallons of peaches have been canned
  • 16 cups of peach jam have been made
  • 4 cups of peach preserves have been jellified
  • 27 cups of concord grape jelly have been produced

I'm officially a canning queen. I wish we had tomatoes out the ass instead of fruit I don't like (peaches and plums). Next year I'll do plum jam just because it's there, but I hate plums even more than I hate peaches, so everyone out there better be willing to take this off my hands!

- In other news: we finally had to put Jill on a diet. She refuses to run when I take her to the dog park or when I go for a run (which let's be honest - Isn't that often). This is of course comical since she used to be the dog that I had to buy the high energy food for because she wouldn't keep weight on because she never stopped moving.... So now instead of spending $37 on dog food, we have to spend $75 because Ody doesn't ever stop running, so putting him on diet food would be bad. I know that in the end it will work out the same because they will still eat the same amount of dog food, but seriously $75 is a lot scarier than $37....

JEALOUS. I love (LOVE) all of those things, and would be more than happy to take them off your hands. I'm looking forward to the plum jam next year, too!
