Canning Beans

We canned some beans this summer!

Navy beans

Cannellini beans

Mixed beans

Let them soak overnight and then strain the water out.

These are the black beans.
Put 'em in jars...

Mixed beans in jars..

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to each jar...

Fill 'em with water and seal them!

Then we put them in the pressure canner and the ones that
didn't fit waited in the oven!

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY KAITLIN!!

One of her gifts was painting her room.

Her room all empty and boarder taken down last night. (July 2nd)

And today (July 3rd) she scraped off her border...

And I painted trim.

Hey everyone! Life has been busy and we have been terrible bloggers. School started, field trips, new niece, birthdays, more school, canning, gardening... All that fun stuff! 

But, we are going to start blogging again! Yay! We'll probably have some posts about canning this summer and some gardening. Even though our garden is done now that its Autumn!!
