During lunch I took myself over to the neighbor’s house and picked two quarts of raspberries, which is enough to make a batch of jam with but didn’t strike me as ‘too much’. Although, I have to tell you, that in looking at the berry bushes, I find it hard to believe they’ve actually done any picking. Well. At least not on the end that they told me I could pick from, next to the road and away from the house. There wasn’t any evidence of berries having been picked.…
It’s as natural as artificial gets!
Wow. Except for checking my email last night to see if I had Angie’s cell phone number (I didn’t, wah!) I didn’t turn the computer on all weekend. Go me! Instead I, let’s see. Emily and I went to The Manchurian Candidate, which we enjoyed, then went out to dinner and had ice cream, which we also enjoyed. :) I came home and watched the rest of season 1 Dead Zone, 4 episodes or something (I skipped the one I knew I’d seen), because Ted was still off dipnetting with…

Good thing I decided to check on that before I actually got started making the jam. O.O Also it turned out the jam jar lids that Mom and I bought are the wrong size for the jars I’ve got, so even if I’d had enough jars, I still wouldn’t have lids. Oop…
