New outside stove

I now have an outside stove to do my canning on so the steam from the canning doesn't get to the new cabinets.


The cover slide over to make counter space when you are using the burners.  I made Monkey Jam this morning.  It was great to see all that steam going outside instead of up on my cabinets.

What is Monkey Jam?  It is what you make when you get 15 lbs. of bananas for 2 dollars.  You mix bananas, pineapple and coconut with a little sugar cook till thickens then can.


 
It was nice to cool the jars outside too so it doesn't heat up the house. (It is only 64 degrees this morning)  A chipmunk came up and sat on the porch.  He was there a long time and I chased him off a couple of times.  I think he was after the monkey jam.   I know he could not open the jars but he could knock one of them off and make a mess.

Wreath

I made a wreath for my front porch to match my new swing cushions and marigolds
in front of house.
