Beautiful Pickles!!!

Are these not the most gorgeous pickles that you have ever seen!?? You see, on a visit to my mother-in-laws home this summer, she taught me to "put up" my own pickles. We went out to her huge garden and picked all of the smaller cucumbers. Then we went to the other side of her garden and Trudy showed me how to cut the right dill. Everything was from her garden and made making these pickles so much sweeter. I can remember how excited I was listening for the tops to "pling". I can not look at store bought pickles the same. They just won't taste like the ones that I made myself. These won't be ready until Christmas but I am so excited to open one up!!!
