Why My Fingernails Look So Dirty

Let's see. . . On Sunday afternoon I picked two gallons of black raspberries and made jelly on Monday morning before I went to work. I squeezed the jelly bag quite a bit getting the juice all over my hands (and under my fingernails).

On Monday I bought a flat of strawberries and made jam on Tuesday morning before I went to work. I top the strawberries with my fingers - I don't use any fancy gadget - thus getting my fingernails stained some more.

Today I went in search of cherries to pick. I found a u-pick orchard just as they were closing for the day. (I set off on an adventure not knowing where I was going - a lot like Abraham of old!

) I found a truck by the side of the road selling cherries quite cheaply, so I bought a bunch and will be canning cherries and making jam in the morning before I go to work. I probably will stain my hands some more. . .

While I was out on my adventure I saw the bottle house in Kaleva, Michigan. I had never heard of it before, so it helped to make my adventure that much more interesting. I didn't have my camera with me so I have stolen a picture of it from Julie Quinn's gallery. I hope she doesn't mind my stealing her Kaleva Bottle House picture. There are several more pictures of the house on her websight: http://www.pbase.com/qjul73/bottlehouse
The front of the house below the front windows says 'Happy' on one side of the front door and 'Home' on the other. All designed in bottles.

Yesterday an internet friend called me while I was at work. How cool is that? I have never talked to or met anyone I know from on line before.
