I really thought that things would slow down after the festival, boy was I wrong! We have been picking and taking grapes to the Farmers Market on Wednesday and Saturdays. Today is the first day I have had to really start making jelly for the year. I made Jalapeno jelly today. Our friend gave us a lot of jalapenos and green peppers jalapeno jelly is a real favorite!
I got a break in the middle of my day when the grand kids came over for a swim.
Then we had several people come over to look at the miniature horses and the buckboard I have for sale. I don't think the miniatures will last long they are so cute!! While the folks that looked at the buckboard were here we got a really hard rain shower. It was GREAT!!! We needed the rain so badly. Now things will start to green up again, if even for a short time.... WE'LL TAKE IT!!
Tomorrow is grape jelly day.... First I make the grape juice and can that so I can make jelly whenever I need to with the juice. It will be an all day job. The neat thing is I can make jelly until I'm "jellied" out and when I need more jelly just open a can of our juice and make more.
Well it's time to cut the blackberry cobbler....yum!!
