The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week. I'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.
Happy Sunday!
Woke up to a hazy morning. We got to a low of 54F last night and the temps are cooling down and the days are getting shorter!
It was a busy week and I worked yesterday which is one of the reasons I'm getting this up late.
Our neighbor has several plum trees and asked if we wanted to pick some, so my husband and I went over and got a big bag full. I finally had some time on Friday so we started the process of making jam. Had a some kinks in the process and got one batch finished yesterday after work.

How was your week?
Oh, plum jam. Wonderful.I love plums and here is another use for them!
ReplyDeleteI was just observing the longer shadows from our neighbors house in the yard and thinking of the days getting shorter- plus lots of cicada buzzing out there to remind me fall is around the corner.
ReplyDeleteYour summer puzzle is cute. I just dropped off two boxes of puzzles to the senior center that I did this past spring and summer. Looking forward to my fall and winter-themed ones, too.
Yummo for the fresh plum jam you made.
Have a good week, Rachel!
If you painted my house pink, it would be Surfside Bungalow. The plum jam looks delicious. I'm very jealous of your cool nights.
ReplyDeleteI love reading about all the stuff you make. It's the only way to really know what you're eating - pick it and process it yourself.
ReplyDeleteI used to do jams. My daughter's favorite is the raspberry. I used to make it around the 4th of July and then again around Labor Day because that is when the raspberry harvests were. Great to see you on the chat! I LOVED The Damage Man. It looks like the next Maggie is the second half of 2027 without a firm date yet.
