My canning already started and will go in several stages. I had hoped to get one batch done tonight, but I had some beans going that would be in the way. I was out of garlic when I started them yesterday, so I put the incomplete batch into the fridge to finish this evening. I'm tired, canning is hard work, so I'll do that tomorrow.

I'm keeping the kitchen surfaces relatively clear, ready to completely empty them to work each time I have to can. It's one of those things that you have to stage and have everything in it's place (in the right order) and work steadily. Makes for tired feet (at the very least) by the end of the session.

It feels good to have them finished and gleaming on the pantry shelves, better than many other things I do around here.
