I have been married to my husband Kelly for 23 years. We have a 21 year old son, Shane, who is a Lance Corporal in the USMC currenty stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. My step-son Zack is 25, is married to Becky and has a beautiful daughter, Natalie who is 2 1/2 years old.
Well, all that rain was actually good for something. There is a bumper crop of wild strawberries in our field. Kelly and I picked and got the blue bowl full! The hard job was cleaning them all. I think I'll be seeing strawberries in my sleep!!
Berries almost ready to be made into jam.
Here is my reward...23 half-pints of homemade strawberry jam. My sister-in-law bought me the cute checkered lids. They will look awesome at the craft show this fall! I kept a record of what I made last year and it was 13 half-pints. WOW!!
And just when I thought I was done...I picked some more on Sunday. There is still a zillion of them out there. I better go buy some more jelly jars!
Blessings to you all. I hope you are enjoying your summer!
