My girlfriend has been posting something she is grateful for everyday this month!  It is a fabulous idea and I know she has had a particularly difficult week.  So with the tone of the previous post, I decided that I also needed to “Count my many Blessings”!!  So, I don’t know if I will post them all at one time or just a few here and there.  But I came up with lots just last night….  Here is my starter:

I thought I put up 22 pints of applesauce….all from free apples.  I was so very, very excited.  Well, only 4 of the jars sealed.  The rest had to be thrown away because by the time I found them, they had fermented.  Why am I grateful for that??  Because I found them before they exploded in the cupboard!!  That would have been so ugly and disgusting.  I just had to dump them down the drain….  Next time, I’ll just freeze them.  PS The last four are in the fridge…..just in case!
