Although canning is not over for me, the kitchen deep clean project continues.
Everything is being removed from counter tops, disinfected, re-organized, purged, things put back where they belong (recipes removed from the fridge and filed once again), drawers cleaned out, doors wiped down, windows cleaned, light fixtures cleaned, curtains washed, baseboards scrubbed......the whole sha-bang.
Just a wee little bit every day.

Every day chores still get done too. It's been a good week for drying everything outside. Our bedroom smelled sooooo good last night.
Peppers were picked. Once again, my bell peppers are only have the size they should be.
Front flower beds continue to get a face lift, and my resident snake continues to scare the living pants off me. Even though I had him removed he came back. I beat on the rocks with my garden tool, to make sure he was gone the next day I went out, and sure enough after an hour he made his appearance (twice). I decided to quit and change jobs at that point.
Two wine labels finally made their way off the bottles that were hanging out in my kitchen. I use a wine label remover to peel it off, and simply stick it to paper or card stock to put into my wine journal. I have to admit, the Sledgehammer (although not organic) was good. I received a bottle at my birthday party shin-dig.
We have fog this early cold, brisk morning. It's 55°F, although it's warmer than yesterday's 45°F morning. We are warming up again, and up to the 80's this weekend. Rain is due tomorrow, so I am high-tailing it to the garden vs. the flower beds first thing today.

Don't know how you manage to do deep cleaning at the same time you're preserving and canning the harvest. I'm not that talented! ;o)
Our temps are back up a smidge higher this week also with rain predicted later this week. So I'll be working outside as much as possible before then.
Have a good rest of your week!
I'm dreading the deep cleaning season...but it's almost here for me. I usually start when the weather gets cold and rainy. With the 6 pets in the house, it really needs it every season.
