Today we have finished our canning for the weekend. Yesterday we did jam and got green beans ready. Today we canned the green beans and some sauerkraut. I have had the hardest time getting some jars of sauerkraut to seal this morning. I think the Kerr lids just never seal for me like the Ball lids. We also did our weekly cleaning list. This is a short list of items that we have to do once a week – dust, wipe window smudges, water plants, empty trash, and vacuum. We are also doing our weekly room which is the laundry room today. Cabinets are being decluttered and organized and everything gets cleaned and wiped down. Of course we have our standard two loads of laundry to do, but something has happened I don't recall in recent times. ALL THE LAUNDRY IS DONE! Yes, I did say all done, which for a family of 9 is a small miracle. At some point laundry got caught up and when I went around today to look for two loads to do, I had to gather from everyone's room. A little part of me thinks, is it possible that we could maintain this. Hopefully we will also get to some baking - bread, cookies, sweet bread, and dessert for dinner. I told the kids I would take them on a surprise adventure if they finished their work. I have the county fair in mind. We love to look at the sewing, quilting, canning, baking, veggies, animals, etc. We may not get to it all, but it is good to have goals. Happy homesteading. . .
