Green acres is the place for me

Farm livin’ is the life for me.
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

I braved the heat again. Swam through the muggy air across to the apple tree. Took a picture or two. Came back inside. Played with the camera some more (color accent feature, can you see it?) Turned apples into pie. Yum.

And it does too make sense to bake something in a hot oven on a hot day.

 

Jam Session

I am plum tuckered out from all the cooking I did yesterday. I made a double batch of the Nectarine Crisp with Maple Cream Sauce and I made my first ever Plum Jam. I only ended up with the three jars, but it was worth it. This newfound cooking/canning thing is taking away all my crochet time. But its tasty!
