Life as a Brandtito

Too Cool For Summer Saturday morning me and some of my favorite girls loaded up and headed to the ARC Blueberry Bash. The girls had such a good time. There were games, crafts, horse back rides,a petting zoo,  blueberries galore & snow cones!!  It was insanely hot, so the snow cones were especially appreciated! Checking out some honey bees Cowgirl Heaven AvaRelli Much to my displeasure, Annabelle toted this chicken around for like 10 minutes. We'd planned on picking blueberries at festival, but it was so crowded and the trees looked pretty picked over, so we decided to head to Lundy's Blueberry & Pecan Farm instead. Though it was MISERABLY hot, in just under 30 minutes, we picked over 5 pounds of blueberries! Annabelle taking a rest in the shade Now the big question is what do we do with 5 pounds of blueberries....We'll probably do a repeat of last year, and make some Delicious Jam  one of these weekends...

Since I'm secretly 85 years old, I've been wanting to try making my own jam. And...since I took the girls in a massively over productive blueberry picking expedition resulting in over 6 lbs of blueberries...this seemed weekend seemed like a good opportunity to give jamming a try. Should you have a hankering to try this yourself, I used  THIS recipe....
