Sunday...we picked pears
...and more pears
Monday... I taught sewing and thought about the pears.
Tuesday... I taught swimming and dreaded the pears.
Wednesday...we played with the Hortons and bought jars and sugar for the pears.
Thursday... I looked at the pears, weighed the pears (75 pounds) and began my assault on the pears.
Friday...I tackled a few more pears.
Saturday...we played with Charlie and I ignored the pears.
Sunday...I quit!!!! Yes, you do still see pears in the background (another 15 pounds or so).
75 Pounds of Pears = 12 quarts canned pears + 8 pints canned pears + 5 pints pear butter + 4 half-pints pear preserves + 1 pint pear preserves + 15 pounds left over pears
dibs on pear butter!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll use up those last "few" pears as pear butter. That way, Sarah, there'll be plenty for your birthday and Christmas presents!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are NUTS!!
ReplyDeleteBut I'll put in an order now, too.
My mom got a good laugh reading your blog.
