Fruit of my labor:-)

The Yakima Valley is producing its fruit again! Today I frozen 9 quarts of strawberries and made some 10 pints of Strawberry jam - yummmm. We've also been enjoying fresh bing and Rainier cherries. I dehydrated 7 trays of cherries, too. I like them better fresh but they don't keep forever. It has been a touch-and-go season for cherries here in the northwest with the rain, hot weather, and lack of pickers but the cherries we have are certainly sweet!

Self-portait of the happy homemaker:-) I feel so domestic on days like this! (Deb, this picture is for you. Yes, I'm the picture-taker so there aren't that many pics of me -- in fact, I even have to take my own!)
