I got most of the beans that came in the co-op order, canned. I had twenty pints in all. That should last us a good while. I love kidney beans so that was what most of them were. I also had five pints of baby limas, two of black beans and two of Adzuki beans. I don't know why I love to can beans, but it is very satisfying to me! I guess I feel like I've 'done something' when it's completed!
The weather was so nice today, 62 was the predicted high, so I got my shovel and went to work! I turned under three beds before I came inside! I thought I could do more, but that is a pretty good workout! Especially after I'd already worked out upstairs! I still want to make some "Energy Bars" since the girls are coming tomorrow. They only have three ingredients: dates, nuts, and dried fruit and you process it in the food processor. I think this will be a healthy snack for me and the girls. Hope ya'll have had a good week! Looks like our temps are going to be a lot warmer next week! Spring is definitely here! Have a nice weekend! Blessings from Bama!

Your canned beans and fresh baked sour dough bread sounds divine! I can only imagine how good they both taste! So glad the weather has been nice for you! We are still a little on the cool side in NC, and boy, has it been insanely windy! Next week's weather predictions look nice, so I hope to get a little done in my yard! Hope you enjoy your weekend! :)

DeleteI just love sourdough. I've never thought of making my own! Mmmm..... I can just imagine the heavenly smell! Congrats on putting up so many beans! That much for a co-op is wonderful. I also love your backsplash! It's so exciting to have warms days to go outside and play in the dirt! I'm so happy spring is finally here!
