This week school started again. We recently made the change from a year round school to a traditional schedule school, so it has been a loooooong summer for us! So this week has been much anticipated by everyone. The biggest change this year is that my oldest started Jr. High....which makes me feel old. It is still a scary thought, because I remember how hard Jr. High was when I was there, and now there is SO much more crap the kids are exposed to. It gives me stress to think about it!
It also makes me feel pretty tired when I think of all the different directions we are going now. This year I have 1 in Jr. High, 2 at the regular elementary school, one in Preschool, and I am home schooling my 3rd grader. I also babysit 2 kids 2 days a week. One is in Kindergarten, and the other is almost 2. All of this, and it is still the middle of canning season!
So, this week I have made about 20 pints of Salsa, 8 gallons of spaghetti sauce, and I have a TON of zucchini still. I was thinking I might get a week or so to rest from canning, but aparently my peaches are deciding to be ready earlier than normal...I went out to look at them last night, and noticed that I have a whole tree that is ripe and ready to go. So this weekend I will be canning peaches, peach pie filling, peach jam, and making some peach fruit leather; but first I am going to sit back and enjoy my favorite way to eat tree ripened peaches. I simply cut it up in slices, sprinkle with sugar, and pour on some cream... Mmmm, Delicious!!! :)
