Meanwhile back at the house...

I have been very busy this summer.  The garden did well and I canned more this season than I probably have ever canned before.   AND...  I was stacking jars everywhere, even on the floor because my large canning shelves were full.  Richard had been to an auction probably a year ago and had bought several different wooden book cases and shelves.  These were all rather ratty and he only paid about a dollar for each one.  Most went into our wash room/shed that he built.  It is wonderful having so much room out there.  I pulled one of the sets of shelves out of the other storage sheds that we were not using yet.  It was quite rustic... My wonderfully talented son, Chase built doors for it and they are beautiful, and look like they have always been on the old cabinet.  But he did not find it an easy chore.  It went against everything in him to build perfect doors for a very wonky old cabinet that was not square in the least.  He had to cut his doors crooked just to get them to fit correctly.  Richard punched some tin panels for it, and Chase installed them.  That photo is coming  this is what we have so far!  I am SO excited about it.  This is also only a fraction of all my new canned goods.
