In an effort to maximize and bottle up the beautiful sunshine this summer, we have been hitting the U-picks around here (most recently Duycks pig and peachy farm... loads of blueberries, blackberries, peaches, plums (Mom's new favorite), eggplants, peppers, hmmm.... that may be it on that day... we also love Rowell Brothers and Kruger's. I've had a few evenings filled with jam jars, tomato jars, and brian recently went a picklin (I'll take some pics of those and post 'em later!). We were doing pretty well with the tomatoes at home... until the chickens discovered how tasty they are, now only the highest and most protected ones are safe. Curses... they are so funny to watch and make such yummy eggs, it's hard to hold a few tomatoes against them... much. 
Thank you Tallulah (our easter egger finally started laying, Goldie and Barbara started weeks ago!)At any rate, we'll be swimming in jam, strawberry, blackberry (the best!), plum, peach, as well as some blackberry "sauce" or jam that didn't quite set up, some cherries, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and salsa! We'll see how we did when we bust them open this winter.
