We put up eight pints of pear jelly today, made in the manner I
described yesterday. This batch, due to the type of pear we used has a
rich red color. Very nice looking and probably will be good to eat.

Probably Sunday we will start peeling,coring, and slicing pears for pear
slices in very light syrup. I think that will be our final product of
this batch of pears.

Our day started with a thunderstorm moving in before daylight and
lasting until mid-morning. I believe we are caught up on the amount of
rain we are supposed to get. The okra is about eight feet tall now and
the pepper plants are approaching four feet tall. Luckily it's about
8,000 feet straight down to rocks or we would be swimming.
