Green Beans

As I speak my husband stands in the kitchen washing green beans.  So far he's canned 26 quarts.  And tonight, we plan to put up another 14. Whew!!  Canning our own food definitely gives me a whole new appreciation for what my parents have done for us, and what my grandparents did for them.  But all the work is worth -- there is no small bit of satisfaction in opening up home-canned organically-grown green beans to feed your children all year round!  And hopefully one day they will realize how much love went into every jar we put up to feed them.
