September Garden Tips Rules for Surviving Childhood written by kids ages 8-15 Never trust a dog to watch your food. When your dad is mad and asks you, “Do I look stupid?” don’t answer him. Never pee on an electric fence. Don’t squat with your spurs on. Don’t pull dad’s finger when he tells you to. When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush your hair. Don’t sneeze when you’re eating crackers. Turn off the dust buster before you pick up the cat. You can’t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. Don’t wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts. If you want a kitten, start out by asking for a horse. Felt markers are not good to use as lipstick. When you get a bad grade in school, show it to your mom when she’s on the phone. Never try to baptize a cat.
It’s that time of year again. Time to bring in the harvest and start your canning and pickling here are some tips to help. Reduce water to harden off plants. Harvest potatoes when the tops dry out. Lift onions and garlic and dry them out. Dig and store tuberous begonias. Bring houseplants indoors in pots. Harvest tomatoes for canning or drying. Divide peonies.

Mustard Pickled Beans
Ingredients and Equipment 4 pounds fresh, tender green or yellow beans (5- to 6-inches long) 4 Tablespoons dry mustard 1 teaspoon tumeric 2 Tablespoons canning or pickling salt (NOT table salt) 4 cups white vinegar (5% acidity) 4 cups water Jar grabber (to pick up the hot jars) Jar funnel 1 large pot Large spoons and ladles Ball jars 1 water bath canner or a pressure Canner Recipe and Directions Step 1 - Selecting the beans. The most important step! You need beans that are FRESH and crisp. Limp, old beans will make nasty tasting canned beans. Guests will probably throw them at you.. Select firm, crisp beans. Remove and discard any soft, diseased, spotted and bug-chewed beans. Step 2 - Prepare the jars and canner. Wash the jars and lids. The dishwasher is fine for the jars; especially if it has a “sanitize” cycle. Otherwise put the jars in boiling water for 10 minutes. Get the canner heating up. Rinse out your canner, put the rack in the bottom, and fill it with hot tap water. Put it on the stove over low heat just to get it heating up for later on. Step 3 - Wash the beans! I’m sure you can figure out how to scrub the beans in plain cold or lukewarm water using your hands or a vegetable brush. Step 4 - Trim the ends and cut into smaller pieces. Just take a sharp knife and trim off beans tops, leaving an inch of stem and roots to prevent bleeding of color. Of course, if your prefer French cut green beans, you can cut the beans lengthwise instead, or you can use a “Bean Frencher”. Step 5 - Pack the beans into the jars. Place the whole trimmed beans upright in jars, leaving ½-inch of headspace. Trim the beans to ensure proper fit, if necessary. Step 6 - Make the pickling solution. In a saucepan, combine... 4 Tablespoons dry mustard 1 teaspoon turmeric
Senior’s Group Collecting Unused Items Seine River Services for Seniors is promoting a unique fundraiser where they are asking community members for help with donations of clothes, trinkets, anything that you would like to pass on to someone else that may be in need. While they can not take heavy items, they will take all other items gathered and sell them at a minimum cost and use the funds to support their programs. For more information please contact Juliette Rowan at 204-424-5285.
2 Tablespoons canning or pickling salt (NOT table salt) 4 cups white vinegar (5% acidity) 4 cups water Bring to a boil. Step 7 - Pour the pickling solution into the jars. Use a ladle or pyrex measuring cup to carefully fill each packed jar with the hot vinegar solution, again allowing ½-inch headspace. The beans should be covered and there should still be 1/ 2 inch of airspace left in the top of each jar. Step 8 - Put the lids on each jar and seal them by putting a ring on and screwing it down snugly. Step 9 - Using the jar tongs, put the jars on the rack in the canner. Make sure the tops of the jars are covered by at least 1 inch of water. Step 10 - Process for 5 minutes. You can use either a plain water bath canner OR a pressure canner, since the vinegar adds so much acidity (if you can vegetables other than tomatoes without adding vinegar, you must use a pressure canner). Step 11 - Lift the jars out of the water and let them cool on a wooden cutting board or a towel without touching or bumping them in a draft-free place. You can then remove the rings if you like, but if you leave them on, at least loosen them quite a bit, so they don’t rust in place due to trapped moisture. Once the jars are cool, you can
check that they are sealed verifying that the lid has been sucked down. Just press in the center, gently, with your finger. If it pops up and down (often making a popping sound), it is not sealed. If you put the jar in the refrigerator right away, you can still use it.

Did you ever wonder Why do psychics have to ask you for your name? Why do you press harder on a remote - control when you know the battery is dead? Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard? Was it a cruel joke to put an “s” in the word “lisp”? Why isn’t phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Quotable Quotes... You’ve got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you’re not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice. ~Steven D. Woodhull If you teach your children nothing else, teach them the Golden Rule and “righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.” ~Robert Brault Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland
Happy Grand Parents Day
In 1970, Marian McQuade, a West Virginia housewife, came up with the idea of a day set aside to encourage families to visit their elderly relatives. With a firm resolve to make it happen, she began lobbying policymakers. McQuade got through to her Senators, Jennings Randolph and Robert Byrd, who introduced a resolution to make Grandparents Day a national holiday. It took a while to reach the White House, but finally, in 1978, the resolution declaring National Grandparents Day as the first Sunday after Labor Day, was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter. So don’t forget to celebrate yours this year.
