The Locust Blossom: June 2020

First, I would just like you to know a couple things here on the home front.

I am having issues with the privacy settings on my phone

so I have commented on several blogs

and the comments don't go through.

At least I've figured out that it's something in "privacy."

I suppose that is a step in the right direction.

Also, I've not forgotten you.

I know there has been a bit of a lapse in my post.

My dad ended up in the hospital which

threw a monkey wrench in things.

He is home and recovering, but if you are the praying sort

and would like to add his continued recovery to your prayers

this here little blogger would be ever grateful.

*~*~Thank you~*~*

Had to let you know those things.

Now, onward:

Tatler reusable canning lids are on sale through the end of the month

so there is still time to get in on the deal.

Thank you Kathleen for the heads-up.

One thing I was uncertain of was if they could be used for vacuum sealing.

Yes!!! They can.

I was thrilled.

In trying to be stocked up on things before inflation really hits,

canning lids were a concern of mine.

I am planning on placing another order tomorrow.

I have had to break it up so it will work from a budget perspective ;-)

They arrived quickly and with a page of instructions for use.

I can hardly wait to use them for real canning.

My folks purchase the buckets of ice cream when they buy it

so have given me these great tubs for storing them in.

More and more, my question to myself is

"How can I never have to buy this again."

I'm not sure these will last the rest of my life,

but they should last a very long time.

I would also like to show you a little cheat sheet I made.

I keep a copy taped inside my cupboard door for quick reference.

Feel free to use it, but know it is for my elevation

so be sure to double check for your area.

You should be able to copy and paste into a word doc.

Change to narrow margins and it fits on 1 page.
