Flowers!
It's amazing! Even after a prolonged extreme drought, very, very hot summer, I still have some flowers that I managed to keep alive! These are all in my backyard, which was the most extremely hot and the most sunny spot in my garden.

Fall Centerpiece and Hello
It's Fall again! Wow! That happened so fast!
I put this centerpiece together with a tribute to
back to school along with it.
I have been doing the everyday living thing and just wanted to check in on everyone! My life has changed... for the better, I hope! I won't go into it but I am adjusting well. At least, I think so. Lol
So...
'Til next time,
Love ya, Jean

Strawberry Jam...
I made some strawberry jam the other day. It's a very simple recipe. Two 10 ounce bags of frozen strawberries, 4 cups of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix this all together and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until you feel it gel. Place in sterilized jars and place lids and rings on jars. Place in water bath canner and process for 15 minutes after it starts to boil. If not water bath processed, keep in refrigerator. As you can see, it made 4 half pint jars and a one quarter pint jar. This jam is so delicious! Easy Peasy!!!
A good time is insured!
Can't wait to see all the little goblins and ghosts!
'Til next time,
Love ya, Jean

Spring around my garden...
I have been growing seeds to plant in my gardens.
I hope to have an over abundance of flowers
and vegetables this year.
I finished my quilt top and have put it away for now.
I will hand quilt it in the Fall and Winter,
when I am trapped in the house. Lol
That's all for today.
'Til next time,
Love ya, Jean
