Getting Cold

Well, my fingertips are like ice, but the chickens are set for the very cold week that we're getting.  I dragged their movable coop to a new location, and gave them fresh hay.  In return I have a wheelbarrow full of lovely chicken pooped hay to dump onto a garden bed.  After that, I had to run in and warm up my hands!

The rest of the afternoon will be spent making my first ever batch of wild plum jam.  Michele had bags and bags of these cute little plums, and graciously chose to share her wealth with me.  Wild plum jam is my favorite kind of jam on the planet, so I'm looking forward to making my own.  Click here to see a previous posting that Michele made on wild plum jelly, including her recipe!
