Blackberry and Mulberry and Peach!

Been busy for a few days...can't seem to keep up with all the mowing.  I've been on the tractor for about 3 hours every day...can't stand much more than that!  The heat is terrible, so I go out about 4:30 or 5 pm and stay until 8.  By then, my clothes are drenched with sweat and the grasshoppers have had their way with me!

During the days, I've spent most of the time making and canning jelly

                                           57 jars... plus

I've already given about 12 jars away.  And, I'm still picking blackberries every other day.  The blackberries are ripening at about 2 cups every two days. 

I did take a day off and went to McCalla to visit 'Bama Girl and while I was there, I saw this precious little thing:

Most of my flowers are doing bad in the heat...these are the only one that's thriving.

Do you know what they are?  I'll show pictures as soon as they bloom.

Lots of cleaning up to do from the jelly making, so...

Later,

Debbie
