jammin'...

growing up on of my favorite book series was little house on the prairie...i would day -dream what it would be like to grow up making all of your food and clothes, toys and furniture. and then i discovered anne of green gables...again there was something romantic about their lifestyle. tea time, homemade biscuits, jams. so it's been so fun to explore these daydreams this summer...

this summer mike and i have signed up for a vegatable share. once a week i go to the farmer's market and pick up a couple of bags full of veggies that were harvested from trillium farm. it's just a little step we've taken to support local farmers and eat more organically. so last week we pick up a whole flat of organic strawberries...and we made jam! it was so fun smushing up the fruit and pouring them into the little jars. hopefully it will taste as good as it looks...
