I've gotten to the age where canning takes a toll on my neck, back and feet. After several days of canning I go see a wonder girl named Tiffany. Her massages leave me as relaxed a baby. After the massage I go home, take a warm bath, have a margarita and go to bed.

Wine chocolate and quilting great ideas for time after canning season ends Thanks for making me chuckle

I reward myself with a couple extra naps here and there........

The only canning I do is applesauce since I get them from a someone who has an apple tree. Bought an apple peeler corer that sure saves time. Put the apple on and turn the knob peels and cores.
Take that back, did do some peaches but its alot of work.
Reward is to read a book.

redstilettos, I agree with you. The ping of those jars sealing is a great sound and I do love seeing the jars of
canned foods on the shelves.

The garden is still producing. Ugh! Can't wait for it to be over. I have 2 8 qt. stock pots simmering with sauce. I'll can them later tonight. My reward when canning season is over- quilting season starts. I usually quilt my winter away because I hate the cold. :)
