I did it!

Posted in Homemaking

I made homemade strawberry-rhubarb jam today!  OK, my daughter Alexis helped.  We were working up a sweat, I tell ya!  We used our own rhubarb from our garden, but had to buy the strawberries from the grocery store.  It was a bit of work, but when all was done I said "well that wasn't so bad!"  All our little jam jars look so cute.  I gave a jar to Amy so if her family eats some and doesn't get sick, then I'll make some more.  We're going to eat some tomorrow for breakfast and if we survive I'm giving jars to my neighbors. :)

I also planted my tomatoes today and the girls planted our potatoes.

Well I gotta run...we have some errands to run and then we have to shower and eat dinner and off to ballet rehearsals.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." ~Jeremiah 29:11-13
