It has been really hot the past few days - around 85-90 F! It is SO wonderful to have a dose of sunshine and warmth in this place.

On Sunday morning we went to Tulley's Farm to pick strawberries. They were pretty small berries... "not as good as Grandma's strawberries"... but it was fun picking and eating. We feasted on berries throughout the day and then made a plan to make strawberry jam a few days later...
Because it is [finally] coming to the end of the school year, we needed to start figuring out what presents we were going to give the teachers. Voila! A perfect solution! So then last night after school I taught the kids how to make jam. They actually did the whole process themselves except for pouring the jam into some of the sterilized jars. They ended up getting into bed pretty late but it was a worthwhile effort.
