Canning

Dave is off to Spokane today; I sent him off with a very large bowl of tuna salad and homemade apple sauce to share. 
I am trying to get some canning done this afternoon.
Canning up some of the soup I made this week so Dave can throw a jar of it in his lunch box now and then. 
Also canning up extra tomatoes into sauce so they won't go to waste.

We still have the beets to pull and can up but we got behind on the things that need done before the snow flies.
Tomorrow Dave is going to bring wood down to our homemade wood rack on the front enclosed porch as we are building at least one fire a day now to take the chill off the house. 
Not the clearest picture in the world of it.

He is still talking of getting a wood permit so we can go cut 8 cords of wood up in the forest. I am beginning to wonder when we will get that done, seems like winter is coming early. 
I hope we will be able to, getting a bit hard with just the 2 of us to do that these days and he does most of the work. But I guess we will push on anyway as normal.
We still need to bring the trailer home as it is at our son Seth's house and then build new sides on it before we haul wood on it.
While things are in the canner and little Kaylee isn't home I think I will bring my spinning wheel down from the loft as I need some more yarn spun up for things I would like to get knitted this fall.

These are the drop spindles I made. I try to keep in practice on one now and then.

The laundry is going and the soup is up to pressure in my American pressure canner.
So off to do a little spinning.
