My husband is a gardener. He planted strawberry plants last year. This year we have such huge strawberries. We had our first feast of them tonite. So yummy. If you lived here on the cool, salty air, east coast you would understand what a celebration this is. Yum, yum!!!

School here finally finished on July 21. My daugther arranged an outing with all her friends the next week to a pick your own strawberry farm on the outskirts of town. Mum here was driving her and half the neighborhood out to the farm. To meet Mum 2 ( with the other car of teenagers) who had discovered that the strawberry season had finished. Arrgh! Missed it AGAINNN! Kids convened around Mum @'s house to watch a DVD so outing not completelu wasted. hey ho.
love and kisses, Jan

Strawberry season is just about over here but Blueberry season is in full swing and my blueberries are plump, juicy and big this season. I have canned some blueberry jam and quarts of blueberries and have frozen some and made and some pies that have gone in the freezer. I am also drying some to add to otherwise bland cereals and muffins. Kind of bring a little taste of summer goodness to winter foods.
Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

It's so interesting to hear about all of you having your seasons at different times. Our strawberry season is in April and May. We have a festival around 60 miles north of here and they make everything from jams to who knows what else with strawberries. The season is over with now. When our season comes in they have trucks lined up and down the highway selling their fruits in flats. That's like a dozen little plastic containers of the berries. Sure is good. Where we are moving our neighbor tells me they have lots of blueberries and blackberries. They might make a country girl out of this cajun lady yet. Let ya'll know when I move how I'm doing as a farm girl. LOL I'll probaby not be able to eat the beef if we get a cow because all I'll think of is those pretty big brown eyes looking at me when I'm cutting into my steak. Gotta keep me out the pasture.

Couldn't keep the dogs and racoons from eating my strawberries, so gave up on that. The plums are a bit high on the tree for the dogs (a Lab & German Shepherd) to reach, but the squirrels jump from tree-to-tree and tease the dogs. The dogs jump onto the dog house roof, directly underneath and eat the plums that fall on the ground. It becomes a real nightmare when you go out into the back yard at night, in bare feet. Have you ever had the sensation of plum squish between your toes? Oy! Blackberries bring bees, and tomatoes bring slugs. I can't keep up with Mother Nature... |

Jan, Sorry about taking so long to answer this but i've been really busy. I'm at a stand still at the moment with my moving. We are going to sell the family property that I live on first, I'm hoping as soon as it goes on the market it will sell. Property here is in demand and we have a large tract of it which is very scarce where I live. There isn't a lot of undivided property as large as ours left in the heart of Chalmette so we are hearing from the agent who is going to list it for us that it will sell fast. Hopefully by the end of the year. Then I can get my new house built hopefully by next summer I will be all moved in and settled. I hope it comes true and I'm not just wishful thinking. LOL Please say a little pray for me. Thanks for asking, Hugs Susie |
