Hi Achternaam,

A few weeks ago, I enjoyed some lovely weather on my walks. I took photos, but the phone camera didn't show how beautiful the mountains really looked!

Before you know it, winter will be over and I'll be out digging in my garden again. :) 

In the meantime, one of the exciting things I've been working on for the new year is finally live! It's called the Canning Chat/Canning Quick Tips video series, which is devoted to answering reader questions on canning topics.

Side note: Reply to this email with your questions, and you might just make one of my future videos! :)

We've published two of these episodes now:
