Addendum to Canning

Today I went to finish recycling the cans.  I thought I’d load the pickup and haul it to recycler…instead I found the weekend brought lots of new “goodies”.   Lots of bags with glass bottles and they all have to be opened and the glass removed.  Then lots of water bottles, Gatorade, crangrape etc added which also have to be sorted out.
An older woman  (that means older than me) came as I had bags pulled out and she put a smallish bag in and just about tripped.  I thanked her for donating…she quickly climbed in her car and left.  When I got to her sack inside were two of the biggest plastic vodka bottles I’ve ever seen!  Watch little old ladies!!  It was also windy so I did the parking lot can dance trying to capture a runaway liquor bottle and a plastic bag!
And so two pickup loads to the recycler later (and a cockroach, and maggots, and mold) I finished.  So far I haven’t found the perfect season to can.  Winter -  it is cold and windy, and spring brought rain and wind…I still have summer and fall to experience. 
Life is an adventure!
