Tomatoes are Finally Done

The tomatoes are done and I am so happy.  I got a late start because I had to go to the dentist because of the tooth that broke off last week.  When the dentist was filling my tooth I was thinking of all the things I could buy for what this was costing me.  I had 2 choices, fill it or cap it.  Filling it $200, capping $700; of course I chose filling.

My daughter Renee came by this morning and bought 3 boxes of tomatoes from me so I didn't have as many as I thought I was going to have to do.  I got 26 quarts of very thick crushed tomatoes and 7 quarts and 5 pints of tomato juice done today.  Now tomorrow I have to deep clean the kitchen and put the stuff I canned    today and yesterday away.  In a couple of days I will need to dehydrate some peppers and some more herbs.  No rest at this time of year, got to get things done as they get ripe.
