I think any other discussion of clergy walking time slots or not might be best via PM, so no one gets themselves into a corner by discussing it in an open venue. Just a thought.

My kitchen was a sauna this evening; I canned peaches last year but I had to give myself a small trial run to see how the new pot would work. Great for blanching, but it's a real squeeze to get a full inch of head room out of it when jars are in the colander. It will be perfect for 1/2 pints, but too short for any more pints. I have a taller pot and will put a rack in the bottom and take jars out with the jar lifter for the rest of the peaches.

Collected by laundry on the line by Coleman lantern light. Gave each piece a good shake in case of bugs. This afternoon I did the basic layout for some 2x2" cedar planks to make myself a potting table out of an old cast-iron framework that used to hold firewood. It might not be pretty when it's finished, but it will give me a good-sized working space at a nice height.

Several eBay items to ship tomorrow, and I must list some more.
