She likes the corn Will and I are putting out for her too.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m feeling better after the latest spell of diverticulitis but, boy, does it ever tire me out! You can bet no more popcorn for me. Ever. I sure want to avoid surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Although &#8220;canning season&#8221; is generally thought to be in the fall, I find myself canning quite a bit during the winter, too. We have canned chicken, turkey, and ham and will be doing more pork soon as well as making bean and split pea soup. I find that if I do a little, often, it&#8217;s easy and quick. Painless. And it sure fills up the pantry quickly. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We finally got our tree up.
