CANNING GREEN BEANS DAY

 Up to get a really cool morning started. It is 48 degrees this morning as I head out to get chores done. Hubbie was just getting back from riding with daughter to take IR to pre-school and CA wanted to stay with us today even if it meant riding around with us doing weekly errands.  She and I had breakfast then we loaded up and headed out to get errands done.  We made stops at the PO and then he dump/recycle center. Then we went by the curb market to pick up money for money plant and drop off another little blanket. I talked to a friend there and met a cake customer with her cake order. We left there and hubbie ran into the library to look over the sale books and found several he might like to read. He reads at night when he gets in bed.  After we left there we stopped at Burger King for the girls lunch and then picked up IR from pre-school.  We stopped by the gas station and Petco for a flea collar for Meow Meow on the way home. We have been putting front line drops on him but the drops aren't working so I invested in this collar to hopefully get rid of the fleas and stop him from pulling all his fur out right here before cold weather gets here.  As I sat in the truck at the gas station I could see spots of red leaves as the fall season color starts to show off.

We came home to meet daughter and d-in-love-Tif here for lunch with all the girls. Tif wanted me to show her how to pressure can some green beans she found. She made 10 quarts of really pretty beans for her winter pantry. I am so glad she is interested in learning the food preservation skills. 

D-in-love-A and RL came in after school and had a nice visit while we finished the canning.  RL and IR got to play together for a long time as they wanted to stay here even after their moms left.  I watched the news of the newest tropical storm being named Sam and is looking like a major hurricane but hopefully it will turn northwest into the open ocean and avoid land.
After all the girls left we got chores done and then came inside to get warmed up on another cool evening . It is already 50 degrees at 9:30 and is supposed to be low 40's by morning.
Thankful for the blessings of this day and for being surrounded by all the kids today which is my biggest blessing.
God Bless and Good Night
