No post today – spent the day making jam with a girlfriend, only to realize I forgot about an entire flat of berries over in the corner.  Now I’m off to CPR renewal class (every two years comes along faster and faster the older I get) and guess I will be making one more batch of jam this evening.  Jeez.

Well, here it is almost midnight.  What a lovely day I had, got some bedding plants into the garden, made jam – twice – and now will head off to bed where I will hear coming from the kitchen the satisfying “pop” of the jars of jam as they cool and seal.  My friend and I are talking about maybe trying some peaches once the obligatory stash of strawberry jam is finished for the season.  Last year I bought some white peaches at a farmer’s market that were so sweet I could not resist.  I ran out of time before leaving on some trip, and threw a bit of sugar on them just to preserve and threw them in the freezer in a big bag.  Mid-winter I discovered them and they were just as wonderful as the day I purchased them, such a treat on my morning cereal.  So…peaches it may be.  Peach pie is Al’s favorite – just imagine if I could whip one of those up in January!?!?!?  He’d be eating it out of my hand…

Goodnight.  Sleep tight.  Have peaches and strawberry dreams, my friends…
