I see jams and jellies selling for $5 to $7 a pint and I'm getting
interested.

Are they being purchased at that price or just being offered at that
price? Just curious ‹ I know people who are willing to pay dang
near anything just for homemade quality. Sugar prices bite right
now.

Nope, they're selling out every Saturday. Nearby small town of Starks,
LA has just finished their Mayhaw festival. Mayhaw jelly was going for
7-9 bucks per pint and they sold it all.
Tomorrow I will put up a few pints of pickled b**ts mit onions and
probably more next week. We ate the beet greens tonight with our
roast beef and black eyed peas. Had some raw carrots out of the
garden for beginners. Tilly Dawg, unlike Sleepy Dawg, has decided
carrots are for rabbits. Ol' Sleepy would beg for them, Tilly just
spits them out. Spoiled little thing!

Are you three finally getting used to each other?

Yup, Miz Anne doesn't even have to wear a pork chop around her neck to
get Tilly to play with her. Tilly loves everyone whereas, as you know,
Sleepy loved me and to hell with the rest of the world. Sleepy loved
veggies of every kind but Tilly is picky, doesn't care for carrots,
cukes, squash, etc. but loves cooked beans and fruit of all kinds
including bananas. Yeah, we're locked in now, Miz Anne goes to work in
the morning and Tilly gallops to the window in the guest room and
watches out the window as she drives away. About 4 pm she goes and
sits in the window to watch for her arrival home. When I leave she
sits at the drive gate and waits for me to get home. She even likes
the UPS driver, the one Sleepy used to bark at. Different dog,
different personality, but we love her anyway.

Lovely))))
