Berry picking

Today while the 4 older boys were helping their dad at work the youngest two boys and I picked Raspberries and then they picked Blackberries. We only picked a quart of each but it certainly was enough to make Taspberry Jam and Blackberry Jam.

For supper tonight I made a chicken stew with potatoes from our garden.

Today I met up with my childhood friend and was given lavender she grows. I can not wait to make tea and soap with it. Maybe even a lavender/vanilla candle. Part of me is not ready for cooler weather but another part of me cant wait to do crafts!
