I managed to wrestle one pic from the digicam's card: the previous canning party involving chicken harvested at the end of last month. I am finishing up more canning today, after having a 100% seal rate yesterday on the four quarts of meat and three quarts of stock. Today I finish up the stock (four more quarts) plus a quart and pint of stock from the time before last that didn't seal at room temperature but sealed at refrigerator temperature. Pretty pic:

I do need to go out and put garlic cloves into the dirt - they sprouted on the table after I had given them a mild baking soda solution soak. At least I know they are viable! And yes, that is a correct usage for the often overused word viable ... able to live. I have two cloves of elephant garlic, and two bulbs of regular garlic cloves.
It's supposed to rain today, but the sun is out and right now there are only a few wisps of clouds in the sky. That could always change in under an hour though. We kind of wish it would, as it is close to 80F again today. Cold front is coming ... Friday's forecast low is in the 40s.
