Summer Harvest Time!










One of my favorite seasons is summer, and that's because I get to harvest what I've planted in my little community garden plot. These heirloom tomatoes, round squash, oregano and double delight roses are just some of the goodies from this years planting. Last weekend while celebrating my friends birthday, she let me pick plums from her backyard trees and I quickly made plum freezer jam. She has a beautiful waterfall that she had built in her backyard, and just sitting there listening to the sound of the water melts your stress away. Well, my plum jam should last me through part of the winter when I like to sit in the kitchen with a cup of tea have some toast with my homemade jam and read a good book. mmmm.....
