Summer

2008.07.10
Garden update- the herbs are doing well. We picked fresh mint for mojitos on the deck for the 4th.

The tomatoes are doing well - a few little ones even have tomatoes!

The onions are going to town!!


12 pounds of strawberries.....as one friend put it when she saw the picture- "That's a lotta berries!"


This is after freezing 6 quarts of whole berries, trying a small freezer jam recipe, a pie and of course eating a few,,,,,, They are just SO GOOD!

So summer has finally hit it's stride here in the UP. The weather has been beautiful and I have been out enjoying as much of it as possible, which is why there haven't been many posts. When the best season only last three months, you enjoy it to it's full potential!!!

I picked strawberries yesterday for the first time since I was a little kid. I had almost forgotten how good fresh berries can be! I brought home just over 12 pounds in an hour. Easy Picking!!!
