Besides doing cherries and hull peas, I discov ered that the black raspberries were ripe. This year they are quite weedy as no one had time to tend them. But, my husband still has hopes of getting out of the house again when he can walk. People do seem to appreci ate it when we share the raspber ries. This year I made some jelly from the berries. And, only some one who has pressed their juice through a cotton bag can appre ciate the work that is involved. Although, I do think it is the most flavorful jelly that I can make. It is one kind that I keep for our family to use. When I made a big apple cake for a picnic, I also took time to make some cherry pies. Through nered second place.

And, that is what I use when baking pies. I’ve planted another long row of green beans as the yellow ones are only now bearing some. Dif ferent kinds of squash have been planted beside them but will be quite late if they bear some. We had a wind and rain storm that blew down some trees. And, I was surprised to see that my long pea fence was blown over too. My son and grandson came and put some new posts in the ground to hold the fence upright. Because of all our rain, the peas grew to be six- and seven-feet tall and the weight was too much for the posts. Some of the peas are not picked as I keep my own seed and so they must dry on the fence. nite Run.
