Makin' jam ~  we went picking wild black berries ...

added some of the blueberries from the picking last week ...

tossed in a few raspberries from a prior picking that were in the freezer ...
and I came up with 9 jars of red/black&blue mixed berry jam and 24 jars of raspberry jam this morning ...

Yes, I've been busy. But... it's a good busy:)

Have you ever grown Giant Kolhrabi?

Look at the size of this one ...

I know we could have left it go longer; but I didn't want to risk it becoming woody.  Besides that, I had a hankering for a slice of raw kohrabi and this one was growing right in the middle of the walking path in the garden.  It had to go.

I entered a cookbook giveaway over at Cafe Johnsonia  and won!  So I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival.  Thank you Linsey!

The last thing I ever won was a bag of dog food about 30 years ago, and at the time I didn't even own a dog.  Oh wait... I take that back.  Last year I won that grill up at Donner's Bay Customer Appreciations Day ... well technically, I didn't win it.  It was Dear Hubby's ticket that won ... I just told him it was my ticket that won.  LOL ... I'm such a liar!  But he figured it out when he saw I still had my ticket stub in my pocket that night when we came home.

Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.
