The Rieper Wedding

Just sharing a few Wedding Pictures from

my son's wonderful wedding!

The Bridal party got ready for the wedding at my house.

I love this picture of the bride Caitlyn.

Canning

 Just sharing this years canning from the garden.
Quite successful considering 2 yrs. ago I had never canned before. 
I thought it was something very difficult to do.
 I remember seeing my mom do it with so many pots boiling away.
  The truth is it's not that hard.  
It's just a series of steps to ensure everything is sanitized, and sealed properly.
  I canned pickles, pickled peppers & pickled jalapenos, tomatoes, salsa & jam.

  Also to put in perspective  

1  quart jar = 2-3.5 pounds of tomatoes

1 pound = about 3 large tomatoes

So each Quart Jar =9-10 tomatoes

 It is quite satisfying to see all the jars

lined up so pretty.  The fruits of this gardens labor!

Plus I was able to share large amounts of

produce with family and friends.
