We got over an inch and a half of rain, so no need to water the garden. I picked black raspberries and made jam instead.

I had a thunderstorm blow through last night. It dropped 1.13" of rain in under 30 minutes.

Picked cherries and made cherry jam.

Do you ever make jam with your own honey?

I used a low-sugar pectin this time in my jam, and it set up. The last batch, with regular pectin, didn't. I used honey instead of sugar in both.

I don't use honey in jam. It will change the flavor. The recipes I use produce the desired tastes. No need to mess with a good thing.

I use the low sugar Sure Jell and the full sugar recipe and have never had a failure to set while using it.

I have had failure to set using regular Sure Jell if everything isn't done just right.

The other thing that can be problematic is trying to make a double batch. I stick to the single batch method.

Yes, it did, but I liked the flavor.

I'm hoping I see the low sugar pectin on sale so that I can stock up. $4 a box. Or maybe I'm out of touch; I haven't bought pectin in a long time.

Went for a fancy Xray test. It tested for bone density.

Weed trimmed around the flowers and bushes near the driveway.

Just called our insurance company to let them know one of our large Oaks just split and crushed our garage and 2 of our pickups.
The tree was also a "Honey Tree". There is a huge Honey Bee hive in the tree and the Honey is dripping out. A Beekeeper is coming tonight to see what is needed to save the Bees.View attachment 4176029View attachment 4176032View attachment 4176034
Sometimes I think Mother Nature just likes to mess with us just to see what we can overcome.

That is absolute insanity! I'm glad no one was hurt, but holy cannoli.
