[AL]

We have cooled off to a balmy 92, but the heat index is 99 so it is still like walking around with a mini-bake oven on your head.

It's in the 90s here today too....last I saw it was 94 but it feels like it is hotter than that. My ducklings are dropping like flies.

The pool water was even hot yesterday....blech. Like taking a bath in chlorine. Better than sweating though.

I'll take a daquiri instead of that margarita....I'm not a tequilla fan

It was stunning here today. Breezy, in the 70s, sunny. Ah! I've got a blender. If your weather is as nice I'll be on my way soon!!

Whatcha gonna do with all those berries?

I just bought some new canning jars, pectin, pickling salt etc.....this will be my first time using the canner since the summer before last. I am a little nervous.

I'd love to do some jams, pickles, meat, beans and tomato sauce. I am going to have to buy the produce though....I don't have the space to grow enough to can.

 

[ohiofarmgirl]

you'll do great, D!!!

i made a couple batches of jam - now i need to find more low sugar pectin and make that pie that Java has been talkng about

OFG, none of the pick "your own farms" have advertised here yet. Lucky you!

We don't even have you pick places out here. I grew up with them all over the place in WI. The strawberry farm was a favorite.

There is one place a few towns over that has upick apples and blackberries, but they are over priced and the owner is creepy.
