We had cattle out..... Just finished dinner when neighbor called and calves on the road. Started to remove a pet peeve.... A cedar stump in the fencerow... The wind was in the right direction. Burned it out and will chop off the remainder.

Selected and wash your fruit jars..
Sterilize all your jars and utensils with hot water.
I'd purchased several pounds of Sweet Seedless Red Grapes due to our store receiving way over what they'd ordered.
Pick the grapes off the stems. Select only firm grapes you'd consider eating tossing the damaged, mushy, split, or unmatured.
Thoroughly wash your grapes.
To each quart jar add 1 1/2 cups grapes............ ( Yes I know I have overfilled the cup...ooppss!)
Measure out 1/3 cup of sugar.
Add the sugar to each jar.
Fill each jar to the neck with HOT water. ... (About 3/4" from the top )

Screw on finger tight each rim securing the lid.
With some canners you might need a "spanner" jar to take up space so jars don't move in the boiling water or clatter.
Place on the lid and process one hour after water surrounding the jars comes to a rolling boil.... NOT SHOWN..... in the bottom of my roaster is a rack... do NOT place glass jars directly on the bottom of the pan... they will EXPLODE !
After an hour I just turned off the heat allowing the canner to cool down over night These are my jars of home made grape juice. You need to shelve your juice for about a month so the flavors totally develop.

Any Questions feel free to ask.......
lilium6 I hope this crosses over to metric for you.....

Our local store had a SCREW UP and were shipped too many Red Seedless California grapes..... They had to sell a bunch FAST.../ lowered the price.... I took advantage of this. I am busy canning Grape Juice prohibiting me from chatting or much of a blog tonight.

I think our lawn has been sprinkled with Fairy Dust. LOTTSA toadstools in the Western lawn.
There was also this unusual specimen. I'd never seen a cluster such as this one..

Is there a better, more satisfying, sandwich than a grilled cheese ? You couple it with tomato soup and you are in comfort food heaven.

Several members have mentioned loosing their beloved pets. I'd planned this blog a few days ago just to show the peaceful beauty of the hill.
The Catalpa tree on our "Boothill" where we lay our pet horses, dogs, and cats is in full bloom. The orchid like clusters giving off their special sweet scent.
I also have Tiger Lilies next to the tree.
Here lies my ever so special Heidi who was featured in numerous blog on another site.
The Hawthorn tree I transplanted to our yard is doing well. I've hit it with nitrogen .
The yellow string beans by the shed are starting to form blossoms.
My "potted" potato plants are thriving. I don't expect a major crop due to crowding but it does make for an interesting focal on the patio.

While I worked in town "My Gal Friday" put things in order.
My Austro/Hungarian Dining set is DONE. 3 coats of plastic protectorant
We now walk through a project I'd started after Thanksgiving Day.
I pin stripped the chairs to match the color of the old Flag.
Finding an incredible fabric at Hobby Lobby each seat has a rose centered on it.
The dining room is now ready for our friends Max & Alex to enjoy with us. I've been asked for a feature layout in BETTER SLUMS & HOVELS magazine
