While Waiting for the Real Spring to Arrive ...

... Mrs. Mac has been busy cleaning up after a horrific windstorm on Monday ... mowing and reseeding parts of the lawn, canning baked beans and making lists of what needs to be canned or frozen for this coming winter.   Spring ... the real spring ... where are you?

CANNING baked beans? I am intrigued. Please elaborate.

Sometimes I think spring in this part of Idaho lasts about 1 week and then it is summer. It might snow a bit in the morning, or so they say on the news.:)Glad to hear you managed the wind storm OK.

Mrs. Mac said...

Maria ... I'll send you the recipe.

Mrs. H .. did you guys survive the wind storm?

canned baked beans does sound intriguing :D could i dare to ask for the recipe as well? the weather here on the coast has been rather up and down...wind, some hail, big fat almost snowflakes and a LOT of rain! then it'll stop the rain comes out.. and ahhhhhhhh warmth...
