Huckleberries gathered from high on the mountain behind our home. The expedition included driving up a long winding road, spectacularly, incredible views, running into a few people we know, a picnic lunch, and of course these gorgeous jewels!

During the summer my time becomes pretty absorbed

During the summer my time becomes pretty absorbed in my garden and produce. So I apologize if my newsfeed converts to almost exclusively garden veggies(and for the resulting pangs of hunger). Tonight it is purple potato fries for dinner.

Such a refreshing, lovely day with summer rain showers off and on. I have been loving the summer heat, but I loved the change today as well.

Dilly beans in the works. So grateful for a productive garden and the ability to store up the produce for later.

The mess left over from a big batch of raspberry jam. We have so many raspberries right now that I can hardly keep up. I have been paying the children to pick them for me.
.
I have been freezing some of them, but our freezer doesn't have much space left- a nice chest freezer is on my someday list! So I needed a way to preserve al these berries and jam it is!
.
Last night I ran into Walmart to buy pectin and the canning aisle was practically bare. My heart sank and I debated whether it was worth the trip up the street to check our local grocery store. I decided to go ahead and was rewarded with the sight if a shelf full of pectin. So I stocked up on 3 different kinds, because I know this won't be the last batch of jam I make this summer!
