Laughing Thyme Farm: Living the Dream

Wow. I’m so creative with these subject titles…..

I have a harvest of a lot of onions.  Albeit they are small, but by golly they were one thing that actually GREW at all this year in my garden.  So I will be chopping these up probably tomorrow along with several red bell peppers from the farmer’s market 1/2 bushel of veggies that we buy every two weeks.  (We don’t eat a lot of bell peppers.  Not many of us like them that much.) 

On Monday I made some wickedly good strawberry jam.  The jam is a beautiful scarlet red color and it tastes amazing.  Strawberries aren’t my favorite fruit, but I love, love, LOVE homemade strawberry jam.  I couldn’t help, but whip up a batch of homemade whole wheat buttermilk biscuits to eat with the jam.  Er…..I mean, I made some biscuits that we can put jam on?  :)  

We have so much to do around the property this weekend.  We actually have a weekend at home, so it’s going to be nice to get some things done.  We look like a hillbilly family with dog hair, our hose, a kid’s swimming pool, various toys and lawnchairs out in our front yard.  I suppose that I SHOULD or COULD go out and take care of it myself, but I have been so busy taking care of things inside that the outside has suffered a bit.
