We have the same thing going on here, just not today.  Lots of pears, pears,
pears, this is a bumper crop year.  And they are huge!  Harry and David
would be envious.  The jars are beautiful to look at all lined up on the
shelf.
I'm a messy cook as well, lots to clean after I've been canning.

Today was my usual day to schlep my foster client all around for his various
appointments and errands.  Still more rewarding than schlepping mortgage
loans.  Like my newish job much better.  Do it all again tomorrow, then stay
home on Thursday to...can pears!  Hope Thursday is a beautiful day like it
was today.  Felt bad that I spent most of the day in the car when I wanted
to be outside.

Good luck bopping rabbits. ;)

Time to make dinner.  Last night was a hodge-podge,
don't-know-what-to-make-for-dinner soup:  8 c. water, 1# browned hburger, 1
pt. tomato sauce, 1 can pinto beans, 1/2 bag wide egg noodles, 4 diced
tomatoes, 1 green pepper, 1 diced onion and garlic.  Pretty good.

Have a good evening--and put your feet up a bit. ;)
