Watered the garden and house plants, laundry is in the machine, the sun is shining, nice musicon the radio, kettle is boiled... Maybe I'll make some rhubarb/strawberry jam...

Mom used to make rhubarb/strawberry jam and pies. She'd also make rhubarb/cherry jam and pies. Both were delicious! I hope you enjoy yours.

I don't have a cherry tree, just rhubarb and strawberry plants.

@BarBaraPrz Have you thought about planting a cherry tree?

@DaddyEvil We had one when I was a kid but my father cut it down because the birds thought it was theirs and left very little for us. And the way the birds here beat me to the mulberries and made purple rain everywhere, I cut it down last year. Just the big ole Manitoba maple in the back here (and it's slowly dying).

I have never had that jam, but I am sure it is delicious. I love the pie.

Yes, very yummy on toast, easy to make, and since it's a small batch, can be kept in the freezer, no canning involved.

I'm doing laundry. It's not like it's hard work (compared to the old days of the washboard, the wringer, etc.). Hope you're having a great day!

Yeah, it's so easy these days you can just throw everything in the washer, set it and forget it.

Making jam would put a beautiful aroma in your kitchen.

I wouldn't know about that: I have a reduced sense of smell.

We had a pretty productive day ourselves yesterday. Got the grass cut, the weeds trimmed, some out of control bushes cleaned up, and even got to spend some time in the pool. I'd say all good.

Rhubarb jam is good. We had rhubarb in our last garden and Yvonne made jam. Strawberry jam is good also but rhubarb is better in my opinion. Meant to say you have been busy.
