We have been so blessed by the Lord with an abundance of food to store up! We harvested the last of our wonderful, home grown peaches and were able to make some peach jam. Our dear friends, the Pollocks, opened their fields to our family and we picked bunches and bunches of blackeyed peas, conk peas, and cucumbers. We shelled and froze the peas and Callie made some pickles with the cukes.

I love your post! Your jelly and pickles look so pretty. I wonder who did the "pea art"? We surely enjoyed tasting those home grown peaches. Nothing like 'em!

Those peaches have been wonderful! And the pickles were very good, especially the bread and butter ones. Hasn't it been great getting all this delicious produce to "put up"? Y'all are women after my own heart!

Great Post!! Little Wills is sooo just bein one of the boys. He's cute, regardless!! Love the black and white pea pic, and you are welcome for the peas.
That is a "sweet" pic of G and K in the field. They look so natural. ahhhhh
The canning looks great. We didn't even put up any pickles, can you believe it. I'm sure glad y'all did. Maybe I can sneak a bite and the peaches look wonderful!! Great Job
Love you all,
Mrs. P
