Hey, those tongs have been used a couple times, huh? Mmmm...

I use a water bath canner for fruit. We eat them over the period of a year, but I have had some that I have kept for up to 3 years. I suppose they would "keep" longer than that but loose nutritional value as time went on.

How do you preserve them in jars, do they last for a long time?

Many times for many years for many things.

Adding sugar or any other sweetener to the water?

I save the extra juice of what's left over and I use that to can the next years batch. That way I don't have to add as much sugar/syrup. I do end up adding some simple syrup each year. I have 3 quarts of juice left over and I will use that to start next years batch.

A friend from work who is familiar with my Skeeter Pee addiction gave me this sweet Skeeter stopper for a retirement gift.

Nope two guys showed up, dug a hole, poured concrete and installed it. We repose junkie old plastic thing. Besides only USPS can deliver the mail, it's the law.

Well, I guess I won't be playing 'mailbox baseball' in your neighborhood.

Exporing the desert hoping to catch some monsoon weather but nothing much happened.
Did come up with a neat black and white.

This looks great, but a lot of us would need more steps!

I was in my attic last night and spotted this container -- the WineArt Project Wine Cellar 1999 Merlot. This was the forerunner of the current limited edition kits like the Winexpert LExx series.

I can tell by the look of the place that my wife is now 80% retired.

The Summer outdoor concerts have returned to our little town. Last night was the first one since Covid. We have an 85% vax rate in our county. It was a perfect evening.

We have a couple of young bucks now roaming freely in town. They seem to be making their way toward my dahlia garden. The dogs were not sure what to do........
