Coffee anyone ?

ever make strawberry fig preserves? You use strawberry jello in the recipe.

Nope. I don't want to ruin my figs! Strawberries are best for me just fresh. Used to pick and make preserves and shortcake. DH always loved the preserves.

Going to pick elderberries this morning. I picked a few Friday, got 2 cups, I froze them.

Ahhh...I had almost forgotten to pick those from my own bushes!! Did late yesterday. This will make you feel badly but, I've got 8 qt containers full in freezer. But ours are just about done for production this yr. Figs gabatch! Dehydrator is tired. More coming.

Hoping to get some corn for weekend to process. Need to call blueberry farm to see if I can get some there....while the sun is shining....and I'm near them.

Same here. Why ruin perfectly good 'xxx' by mixing strawberries in? They are grate fresh, I'm not fond of cooked strawberries.

There are no strawberries in strawberry fig preserves. It's chopped figs and strawberry Jello. And it is GOOD! I don't like cooked or frozen strawberries, they are mush. But you oughta try at least one batch of strawberry fig preserves.

Coffee is on. I have a chiropractor appt first thing. Kids can do chores and get the day started.

Thanks for the coffee PA. After all that hay hauling, I got a sneaking suspicion that you need that chiropractor appointment. We are going to pull goat weed today, chop more giant weeds in the garden and machete down poke plants in the horse lot. Another hot sweaty day!

More Sun, getting hot later. Grass so high and wet -- dew! Put goats and mini mares on some small areas to eat it down. Can't hay but, they can eat it. We should all have this problem....

Only working a short day. Will enjoy some time at home.

Jello in preserves? That sounds as wrong as chicken frying lamb chops!!

Our grass is growing so high I’m going to borrow my neighbors pony as a lawn mower, I only hope she will want to go back!

Had a busy day. While I lopped 8 wagon loads of ragweed and lambs quarters, BJ and neighbor boy pulled goat weed out of backyard and pasture 2. Then boy and I lopped poke out of horse lot and took to burn pile.
Then we picked elderberries!

Good haul of elders! Screen them off the stem....Thanks to "the wise one!".

Hope the sheep got some of the weeds....of course, they did!!

Hot and muggy right now. Relaxing in AC. Almost dark.
