Well, I guess I'm back to the real world--Linda, Jeanette and I had the day off on Thursday and we had a blast. After my walk with Debra, the three of us took off in the Ranger and found possum grapes Ed had been keeping his eyes on. The more we picked the harder it rained! We got soaking wet and we laughed till our sides hurt.
Needless to say, we didn't look our best in this picture. We cleaned up and had lunch and got started washing and cooking the grapes. Later on during the day I started the jelly making process. I do love to make the jelly--and we do love to eat it!
I ended up making 98 half pints of Possum Grape Jelly. (Diana--you're getting your share!!) I have two more batches to make [I ran out of jars and couldn't finish yesterday.]
What a blessing to be able to spend the day enjoying God's outdoors and laughing and having fun and getting to reap the benefits of it all. Oh, that jelly will be enjoyed by all. It's good to be home.
Edited: This afternoon after a quick trip to Wally World for more canning jars, I made three more batches. The total count is now up to 125 half pints. I sent some home to Mimi with Ryan. And I just found out that Jennifer has been stealing it!! Now there's plenty!!
