| Wild Honey Suckle Jelly 2012 |
 |
| Tim and I went on a walk at the back of the Farm and picked a Bucket of Wild Vine Honey Suckles |
 |
| It was so nice to be out and Enjoy my time with Hubby |
 |
| Love watching him |
 |
| We filled Our LITTLE BLACK BUCKET |
 |
| Sophia watching us and Wondering What are Lolli-n-PoPPop'S up to? |
 |
| Pops found her a DewBerry TREAT |
 |
| Sophia gave it a try |
 |
| YUMMIES |
 |
| It also made for Great Squishing in those little hands lol |
 |
| After we got back home I destemmed them all a very light washing to rinse the bugs off if any |
 |
| Boiled 4 cups of water and tossed them in to steep for 45 minutes |
 |
| After Straining the Honeysuckles I added the sugar and liquid pectin and 4 drops yellow food coloring next time I think I will only add one drop of coloring and let the jam have more of a natural color since the Gang Loved the Jelly . |
 |
| Filled 5 beautiful Jars |
 |
| Full of Spring and Sunshine The recipe can be found herehttp://countrylife.lehmans.com/2011/06/14/honeysuckle-jelly/ The Smith Gang Loved it ,I am thrilled to find this recipe will be making more and its free ,no pesticides and right here on the farm yay :)!! So after much enjoyment being outside and seeing the Sun in my jars I thought I would check on my Sunflower Patch |
 |
| They are up and Growing MySmitty added Our Sunflower Stone I painted and its now Official the Sunflower Season Begins |
 |
| These are Black Sunflower Seedlings that will be used to feed the Rabbits and Goats |
 SPRING BREAK sorry guys its not the Beach :( |
| Off I went checking on Chad and his Sweet Sweet Friend Desee. Seems when kids come to hang out with us I can always pursuade them to help plant or feed one of the animals. Desee didn't mind at all ,they planted Okra seeds for me, not sure if its to early or not but we thought we would give the saved seeds from last years harvest ago:) He is taking an Ag class himself and has to raise his own Garden for class so he just jumped right in. |
 |
| Meet Sargent lol he never diggs but let someone start digging and he will jump right in to enjoy the fresh cool dirt:) |
 |
| See silly Boy joined me as I worked on my own little Garden Spot |
 |
| I managed to clear out this for a trail spot of Spinach ,lettuce and Chinese cabbage. |
 |
| Ole Grandmaw came to take the Boys to eat Chinese for a Treat during Spring break they loved telling me all about it when they got home. Seems those plates needed alot of SideBodies from their stories :) |
We have so much to be Thankful for in Our Life
Love, From My Smith Gang
