Mercedes and the Girls

Leiden got creative with the play dough this morning.  Using one craft medium to represent another!

Canned another batch of jelly, today.  I only did one batch at a time, and used the name brand pectin.  My fingers are literally crossed that these set up!  Making the juice was rather disastrous for the other batch.  I put the pitted peaches on the stove to cook and make the juice, and promptly forgot they were there.  Until I smelled something burning.  Yeah.  They were on too high a heat for too long, and I've now ruined one of my bigger pans.  Lovely.  To boot, that meant only one batch of jelly!

Gorgeous rainbow up at my mom's house, today!

And a gorgeous snap of Derek and his gigantic ruck.  Good day all around!
