PICKLE PICKLE PICKLE

Well, the end of summer is coming and one way of knowing that is that we are harvesting from our garden.  First, we had the peas, then the cherry tomatos, now we are starting to get large tomatos and cucumbers.  Though we have enough cucumbers for our dinner salads, my parents have a plethora and provided us with a few extra.  The few extra were so we could do our pickling... Okay, maybe not we so much as Buck.  Mostly my job was consult and juggling kids while he worked his magic.  So far he is testing his skills with dill chips and wholes. Next he is going to try spears. . .

 Getting the jars ready to be filled... All good pickle making happens with a beer nearby!
And the finished product!


Here is Hyat and the pickles....

Hearing Hyat say "Pickle, pickle, pickle" is one of my favorite things!
