You’ll never guess what I did on Monday? Well if you guessed that I made Plum Jam, you were right!
Hubby and I had to go down to the next town to the store where they sell canning supplies, and when we returned I made my first batch of Plum Jam. I’ll be making batch number two tomorrow.
The Plums are ripe and delicious, and so the Jam is coming out very well, but the tips of my fingers are slightly discolored from the purple plums!
Hubby and I actually had a lot of fun this morning before I got to work in the kitchen and he got to work in the yard. While we were out we stopped and had lunch at a great Chinese/Japanese restaurant. The food was great and for about 45 minutes we enjoyed each others company, while having lunch.
We also have a new tenant living in our stone wall! His name is “Chip”! “Chip” makes me and the dachshunds crazy!
I don’t worry that I will be tempted to chase “Chip”, but I sure worry that the dackels, especially Anneliese, will chase “Chip” and end up in trouble!
I’m hoping to evict him soon!
Oh, He’s so cute! What you need is a CAT to keep the little critters away! LOL! Love YOU, Mel
We have a family (colony!) of chipmunks living in our rock wall. They are very entertaining, drink the hummingbird’s juice, chase one another in and out all day long, hide from the hawk and make my dog a teensy bit nuts : ) Have a nice week!
Aw, Chip is too cute!!!
uh-oh. How does one evict a chipmunk, I’m afraid to ask.
😉
We always called them “grinny squirrels” because they always look as if they are smiling. Chip certainly is cute and will, I am certain, drive the dackels coo coo. Good luck getting rid of him. Your jam looks wonderful. I am really going to have to find time to get up to your neck of the woods to see both you and Jack, and Reid Farrell over in Vt. You have had a most excellent harvest this year. Your hard work paid off.
I take it you eat a lot of jam? Your so busy all the time, that is awesome. Chip,chip is very cute but I would be afraid of them running after him too!
