Jammin.

Hey ya'll.
I am making jam and pickles all this week. Yum.
Today I made a beautiful strawberry lemon marmalade. It is dark pink and looks like a jewel in a jar. I had a little left over and tried it and it is FAN. TAS. TIC. Every one else thought it was great too.
We went to Canino market today to get fresh veg and fruit for canning things this week. It was THE best farmer's market I have ever been to. Beats Soulard by a mile and a half. All the produce was gorgeous, there was a HUGE variety, and it was all very inexpensive.
We are making dilled carrots, stewed tomatoes, strawberry lemon marmalade, pepper carrot salsa, honeyed peach and blueberry compote, lemon ginger marmalade, and blueberry citrus conserve.
Yum.
My mom and sister are making the veggies, and me and my sister are making the fruits. We are also doing bread and butter pickles. Friday we are going to the ocean. It will be my first time to see the ocean. I am looking forward to seeing it, but I am not going in the water, and I am afraid it will be hot and dirty. Oh well. I am also sure it will be gorgeous and maybe a little awe-inspiring.
I am having the best time.
I missed my sister and her family a lot more than I thought I did. I am glad to be able to see them.
Also, Avery gave me a kiss on the hand today! Woot!
