So I was in a panic after a few days at the farm, wondering if I could manage living with all the changes that bunking in your inlaws basement and living in a completely different culture could bring. And yes, Chelsea, Michigan is a different culture. Its homogeneous, country; but the nearest town is Ann Arbor, a artistic university town filled with hippies, engineers and doctors. And we come from an urban multicultural working class neighborhood. Ahh! Even Abi was struggling with the change. The loud firecrackers, sirens and cumbia are replaced by buzzing bees in fields of clover. Here's a taste:
Today we met up with Mimi's good friend who showed the girls how to can strawberry jam!!! This was part of my homeschool goals for the summer that my girls would learn food preservation. So we experimented with pectin/no pectin, sugar/no sugar, and ripe and unripe fruit. The winner was the no pectin, ripe fruit, high sugar recipe. MMMMMmmmm pband j for lund
Thirty years of friendship here...
Using a special program, photo paper, a cricut and a xyron, she rocked the labels!!! Totally fun. And yes, I am adjusting now to different! :-)
