We have been working away here and there on the place.
I made strawberry preserves of the last of the strawberries, I went ahead and added the little bit of goose berries and currants that were ripe into the batch to. It was the first year of the goose berries and currants.
It has really been dry with no rain in sight and we have had to keep things watered int he garden. The potatoes are doing great and so are the green beans.
We hope we can get quite a few things done this weekend as we don't really have to go anywhere for change.

Here are a fw web addresses that can help you figure out what you woudl like best in yours.
