Sharon
I am enjoying your past blog posts.....Hello! Sharon<br />I am enjoying your past blog posts...they are incredible...you are an inspiration. I am 60, and you GIVE ME HOPE, GIRL!!!!<br />The butterflies on your plum tree are amazing! I wasn't able to do plum jam this summer...I was too stressed out taking care of my husbands invalid mother. Life has pauses at times. My mother had a funnel colander that she used when she made concord jelly, and used cheesecloth inside so the seeds wouldn't get into the jelly. I think she still has it! They are wonderful contraptions.<br />Take care, and I will come here often now that I have found your blog.<br />Teresa in California<br />tscat@sbcglobal.net<br />I know I am a little slow in posting a comment for this post as I just found you!<br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-42246841379203192832010-06-19T20:33:57.927-05:002010-06-19T20:33:57.927-05:00I love your faces Norah !

She even made watermelon preserves from the watermelon rinds after we ate the melon part. I have always wondered who on earth ever thought of trying that! But it was so delicious. You have inspired me. Perhaps I should hunt up the recipe and try my hand at it.<br />xoxoArtist Linda Drake and Lunar Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848526673599445690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-73163380305590992972010-06-16T05:24:35.532-05:002010-06-16T05:24:35.532-05:00What beautiful words, memories, photos~~What beautiful words, memories, photos~~Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363914463883000210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-18754282210409579762010-06-15T23:39:48.998-05:002010-06-15T23:39:48.998-05:00I have never seen so many butterflies on plums!

Now it's just war with a very large bunny who munched the top foot off my mature rose bush and ALL the blossoms.<br />I love that the butterflies & insects are having a delectable feast in your tree.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120688958195916028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-22647819157141773602010-06-15T11:31:44.363-05:002010-06-15T11:31:44.363-05:00Good morning, a lovely stilllife of your work, and...Good morning, a lovely stilllife of your work, and yes I have a collander. Ude it for plumbs, chokecherries,tomatoes, crab apples that sort of thing or I use to do that. <br />That sauce is beuatiful. Yes grandmother left something and mother did also, they said, they were leaving something for seed, meaning next year.<br /><br />I sent out too many rain pleas, it has rained for days and the strawberies are molding on the vine, honestly, another lesson in being careful what one wishes for.<br /><br />Yesterday I was in the rainy garden and birds were so angry at me, they had baby birds leaving the nest, I don't ever remember being that frantic over children leaving the nest. Also the sun did show for an instant not bright but telling me it was still there.<br />it was a painting inspiration.<br /><br />Enjhoyed your words this morning.Emelienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-49088377279352783102010-06-15T10:52:19.008-05:002010-06-15T10:52:19.008-05:00hi Sharon..I also have one of those contraptions.....hi Sharon..I also have one of those contraptions..I entend to use it with my cherries (i froze them) and my plums that are not quite ready yet...Love plum jam...Thanks for sharing... ;)Janie Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033453463923479878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27497634.post-24178500974281990452010-06-15T10:09:25.942-05:002010-06-15T10:09:25.942-05:00I bet she did too!! :)
