Strawberries

Last spring my Dad planted some strawberries.... A whole bunch of strawberries!!!This is the 2nd picking and I left a big tupperware bowl for Mary to pick. I actually did 13 batches of freezer jam!!! These are all my big helpers!!! (My kids and Aubrey and Sierra Burton)They helped so much and worked so hard!! (even though there was some complaining about itchy skin and sore backs) The girls, with the help of Hallie Beagley and Tayvri Clay helped me make the jam. There was lots of stirring!! We will have strawberry jam for 2 years!! I love that all the years of drilling into my girls heads about working hard is finally showing some results. They have really impressed me since school got out!!! I am proud of them!!!

I didn't think that anybody had more jam than I made on Monday. 39 pints, and it took Jim and I all day long to get it done. Sure is good though, I think I'll bake bread tomorrow and have the best treat in the world. Warm bread with strawberry jam.... YUM
