May 11 snow and grape jelly

Yesterday I noticed Ron had grape jelly on the shopping list..and we had an opened container of grape juice in the frig that my mom had given us. My mind clicked.."in 5 min I can have a batch of grape jelly made up" ..so I quickly poured 4 c of grape juice in my large pan and washed up some jars, stirred pectin in the heating juice and measured sugars..scalded jars in microwave (quick) and put lids on to boil..

In 5 min the jelly was in the jars..and I had some this afternoon on toast and it was really yummy.
We celebrated my mom's 93rd birthday today so I took her in a jar..which she loves..so that worked out well also.

Was raining hard when I left my mom's and when I got home ..this is what I was looking out the window at:
Many of our fruit trees were in
full bloom. This one here was in full bloom for several days and now is covered with snow..wah!

hard to see the blossoms under the coating of snow.

since I took this photo the snow has all melted..but the low is forcast for 30 tonight and 26 tomorrow night with a high of 39 tomorrow..so..

well we lost ALL of our fruit blossoms last  year to a 28 degree freeze..I'm hoping..praying..that we'll have fruit this year..we really need it. And I have a new canner !

    that tree did bear one plum that was covered with snow, and we had about 6 or 8 pears on the pear trees that froze as well in bloom..a blessing.

    Metsa müük murrab tippkvaliteeti ja jätkusuutlikkust tulevase põlvkonna jaoks. Hinnapakkumise ettevalmistamine enne metsa ostmist on tasuta, konkureerivad ostupakkumised ühe hinnapäringuga.
