How I have spent most of my summer

I feel like I have been slacking on my blog, so will probably see several posts close together as I play catch from the summer. I often think, I should post a blog about that...but never get around to actually doing it. This summer I have been busy and I can't believe it is almost September! We have not really done anything exciting or gone on any vacations this summer but we have been busy nonetheless. Most of my free time has been spent getting good deals at the grocery store to stockpile since prices are skyrocketing and I have also done a far bit of freezing and canning of fruits and veggies. Currently this summer, I have made 2 batches of strawberry jam (approx10 jars), 1 batch of peach jam (approx 6 jars), froze 2 peach pie fillings, canned 5 jars of peaches, froze 2 batches of tomato sauce, canned 3 jar of salsa, and froze over roasted tomatoes! I have to admit, even though it is time consuming, I love knowing what is in my food, how it was prepared and where it came from. Besides, there is nothing like homemade fresh from the garden!
