We only got the first one because she was found at a construction site my husband was working on in the middle of a subdivision nowhere near a natural habitat, and completely painted in nail polish. She was clearly someone's escaped "pet". We had several "gifts" of box turtles after that from people who were "rescuing" them from the road, and brought them to us after they knew we had box turtles. They are absolutely fascinating creatures, and we learned a lot about their care. Ours stayed in a large area with our compost pile though, and hibernated in the winter. I'll have to look back through your blog to read more about Tank!

I think I liked it more than the peach cobbler I normally make. This was my first year of really making pickles.

Next year I want to do dill pickle slices for hamburgers along with my dill relish. :)<br />Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121887739810149356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181084496310151034.post-92111452157924416502012-10-12T10:38:53.596-06:002012-10-12T10:38:53.596-06:00Good job!

I wish I had canned more than 6 pints, as that big cake was gone in just 3 days! I lucked out on making pickles again this year, after my bumper crop of cucumbers in 2009.
