  Dear Girl, please rest. &nbsp;Your memory problem is more than likely a result of your need for rest. &nbsp;I know it is hard this time of year. &nbsp;Yesterday I was just fell into a coma clothing and all. &nbsp;But you must take care of you so you have the energy to take care of your family and all your many obligations. &nbsp;I have added you to my prayer list. &nbsp;Much love and appreciation for all your hard work and inspiration. &nbsp;Jean Colorado USA

  Listening to you oh soooo excited over your garden surprises is just making this old Grammys heart sing. 40 years I was just like you. Oh so full of excitement over my garden. A normal canning season was minimum of 2500 quarts and pints filled with the work of my hands and the favor of God the master gardener. Then in November we processed our meat for the year. We raised and processed 2 home grown steers and 3 pigs. Half a steer and and a pig was shared with my older sister to feed what was left of her family at home. Boy by the time she and I finished wrapping all that meat we were tired and were so ready to put the end of that year behind us. Our hubbies did all the cutting and grinding and they were fast so we worked really hard to keep up with them. Those were the days. And you remind me of those days with every video you post. <br>Thank you for giving this old heart extra excited heart beats. Bless you and the work of your hands.

  You should get some BRIGHT PINK tape and tape the handles of your shears, scissors, and other garden tools so you can spot them when you lay them down!

  My grandma had a sign that hung in her house that said, “ My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy”. I now have that sign. During canning season it’s hard to keep it spotless. But once done it gets a deep clean. I deep clean again in the spring before I start big projects again. If I don’t do it in the spring then things get away from me when I start pulling things in during summer. And I stress more. So you will get to it.

  I may have said this before but for all you say you have a short growing season, you sure do pull out an amazing amount of glorious food from your gardens. Love it!! ❤️ &nbsp;Also. I always thought that digging potatoes would be my favorite thing to do (i did it once with my dad and my glee was immeasurable) but that squash/pumpkin harvest was pretty exciting. I adore you, Chelsea, for the joy you give us.

  Watching how excited you were on the hunt through the squash patch put a smile on my face!
