My Front & Back Yard Spring Flowers

This is what all of the snow and rain did to my flowers... Not Bad!

And just in time for Mother's Day!   Happy Mother's Day!

Today May 2, 2011 I spoke at my good friend, Marlin Imes' funeral in Ogden.

Marlin was a Korean Vet and he was given full military honors and his wife Lena Imes was given the American Flag which draped his casket.

Canning Cheddar and Nacho Cheese

On Friday April 29, 2011 I decided to can Cheddar and Nacho Cheese.

Heating the bottles for 20 min. at 250 degrees.  Then fill the pint jars.

Put the sealers and lids on the jars and then put them in the canner for a 20 min. boil.

 After they boil for 20 minutes they are done.  Cool them on a rack

and label and put away after they cool.

I was able to can 18 pints of Cheddar Cheese and 6 pints of Nacho Cheese.
