I'm running out of pint jars around here. Actually, I have run out of pint jars. I have one, single, solitary widemouth pint jar that I just unearthed from the back shelf of the bottom of a cabinet this morning ... but I could have used 12 pint jars yesterday in my canning adventures, during which I put up salsa (3 1/2 quarts), garlic-honey jalapeno pickles (5 half-pints) and bread and butter pickles (2 quarts).
The gallon of tomatoes - washed, cored, quarters, and squished in the hands, then put in a cloth-covered time-out for 5 days...
became a half-cup or so of tomato conserve. I am still figuring out what to do with the 3 quarts of juice - fermented tomato juice, I would assume. Tomato wine?

And now, I've spent so much time wrestling with the pictures I forgot what I was going to say! Lots going on -- knitting, learning new things, transportation, gardening, etc, etc, etc.
Until next week...
