My aunt came down again to can with me. We went to Detering Farms on Thursday to pick peaches in their orchards. There were tons of peaches and they were all perfectly ripe and juicy. We picked three boxes of them that weighed 40 pounds each for a total of 120 pounds of peaches. On Friday we got up early and canned peaches all day, finishing by 7:30. Then we went to get body massages to ease our aching muscles. It was a wonderful day.
