canning tomatoes

Yesterday and today we have canned tomatoes. We got around 42 quarts. I used to really not like them but now I don't really mind. It is not hard to do its just messy. You have to where an apron because sometimes it splatters. You feel accomplished after you can anything. Looking at all those rows of fruits and vegetables. It makes you thank God for all he has blessed you with.

Interjection by Abigail:
I wrote this poem four years ago about canning tomatoes. :D

We canned tomatoes today,
When we were done we shouted, "Hooray!"
In all the jars, romatoes are packed,
Thirty-five jars to be exact.

On the counter the jars stand,
Looking at them makes me feel grand;
And then we give a cheer
For we won't do them again until next year.
