As Martha would say, consider this your gentle reminder--it's time to be eating strawberries.
We went out with some friends, via scooters, to Lawson Brother's Farm last weekend to "pick-our-own". Sweet Husband and I picked just a little over seven pounds, but I still don't think it made enough jam. But, really, is there ever enough strawberry jam?
Next year I think we might shoot for fourteen pounds though, or maybe somewhere between fourteen and ten or eleven. Our seven pounds only made about twenty jars of jam, which is just not enough, especially when you want to share. (The recipe I used is here, and it's also on the back of the pectin packet.)
In other news, I finished a knitting project. This is kind of more amazing than it sounds, because lately I seem to be having trouble keeping my mind steadily on...well, much of anything! However, I have no photographic proof of said project because I taped it all up in a box for shipping to its recipient before I realized I hadn't taken a picture. As I said, scatterbrains!
Anyway, it was three cute little baby "Bibs O'Love" from Mason-Dixon Knitting. Super easy. All garter stitch, so I didn't even have to keep track of rows. Very sweet--in cream and green with little frog buttons--all rolled up and tucked into a little box. Will make again!
