Dill Pickles and okra

God has blessed us so much! I am so thankful for all the fresh vegetables that others have given us while we start our garden. I have had tons of fun canning. This week I tried dill pickles and my family loves them, especially my Elijah, which I am so thankful for because he rarely like anything that is good for him. I ended up canning 12 jars!
