Jam session

 I have made 100 jars of apricot jam.  Claudia helped with some and took some home, but I still have over 50 jars.  It will not be a problem to eat all of this jam.  We have been putting it in the homemade yogurt.
I have also made a few jars of cherry jam.  David kindly pitted about 20 lbs. of cherries.  We froze some for cherry pie later.
 
 Here we are at Conover Cove on Wallace Island.  Had a great time.  It was so hot ALL of us swam in the ocean!
 Some nice little hikes that 3.5 year olds could handle.
 This hike was a little longer.  It was so fun running out to this point, but then we had to go back...
 ...it was a bit much for some!
 Here is Uncle Jake in Winter Cove, Saturna Island.  I still have a hard time looking at these pictures.  He was part of the family and we are very sad to see him go.
Instead, I will look at these photos and enjoy every beautiful day at the farm!  This is a black hollyhock (I think) that I love.  And there is the barn, home to 30 plus chickens, a cat and countless rats!  I love it all!
