I love the photos of the bird on the flowers and that pool with the reflections is awesome. You did a nice job capturing the day. ♥

It looks like you had a fun day with the girls and all those blueberries, yummy!

I wish you a speedy recovery, Jay. I'm sure you are anxious to get back to photography your outings. ♥

Glad you got to process some of the garlic. I have never dehydrated any but that may just happen someday. I bet you are busy each day putting something into the freezer as I am. Tis the season ;-)

Congratulations! You're an inspiration to all. Well done Maureen. ♥

I am over-the-top impressed with the grand architecture of the building. Everything about it is spectacular and I am so glad I saw your post. Happy travels.

Garlic honey has a spicy-sweet flavor and it is so good for you. I eat a clove every few days just because I have them. It is going to be a staple in my home from now on. I hope you make some to enjoy

Yes, they were too small and many of them were rotting on the inside. The odd weather had a lot to do with it this year, I am sure of that.

Absolutely, I stay positive through it all. I have enough to last awhile and I can always purchase garlic cloves.

I am in the northern hemisphere in N.Y. I always plant garlic in late October. Our weather has been so topsy-turvy that I have a feeling that had something to do with it. Other farmers I know have had

I wonder why we both had such a bad garlic harvest this year. The first time ever for me. I too had a lot of bulbs that were not good enough to store. I have to find a good garlic dealer for fall planting

I used to get nervous using the pressure canner at first. Now, it has become 2nd nature to me and I never give it any worries. Have fun, just follow the directions and you will do fine.

I have never canned fish, yet. I may try doing some Salmon in the future. ;-)

I just clean the rims with white distilled vinegar. It cuts any fat that may have gotten on the jar. I am always putting something up for the pantry. Keeps me busy.

Thank you.

I have never tried using salt but the meat has to be done in a pressure canner, unlike a water-bath canner for doing most vegetables.

That is good to know about fasting. I do long intermittent fasting but drink the kombucha and now the kefir. Thanks for letting me know.

It looks like a lot of hard work to keep the trees trimmed. I hope you didn't hurt yourself with too many aches after all that. Have a wonderful, peaceful weekend. ♥

It was a big undertaking to prepare that garden. I can't wait to see how it all fills in and flowers for you. Well done!

Thanks, Edith I try to make the recipes simple and easy to follow. Be well and have a great weekend.
