We made applesauce- lots and lots of it. I think we canned 30 quarts. It was a different experience this year, applesaucing with two littles. But it is a delight to watch Emmeline experience a new task through fresh eyes. She kept saying "smell nice" and "ooh". Lena wasn't particularly interested in anything but crying that day as she's been going through a rough patch again but hey, we did it and our pantry is overflowing with good things for the doldrums of winter. Tomatoes, sauce and pears though- not this year. The Cortland apples were particularly red this year and it tastes so good. Yeah for one accomplishment, even in the middle of colicky babyland. Yeah for crowns at breakfast and sweet knitted hats for the littlest among us.
