about me

Hi! Jelly here!
My husband and I live on the Great Plains in the coldest state (feels like it) in the country.
My husband and I farm. We grow hard red spring wheat and soy beans. I raise chickens and turkeys too!
I have a love for gardening (flowers, veggies, fruits, and berries) and canning, freezing, jelly making, preserving, drying herbs, cooking and baking! These are my passions!
I am an avid reader and I like to write and I collect quotes and short poems.
And I have a new passion or should I say "Addiction"! ZAAR!!!!! Love you all!
We have a golden retriever pup! Our baby! Her name is Maisy! 75 pounds!!!!Also, have nine kitties - Sarah, Sebastian, Midnight, Henry, Sam, Star, Garfield, Lilly, and Zeus!
Our area is rural and we have a 45 min. drive to the nearest city. It is a long trip there and back!
We try to be as green as possible and recycle. We have become very conscientious of our environment. It is our children's future.
We carry our our own canvas shopping bags to the market and use a cooler that we keep in the trunk or back of the pickup. No more plastic!
We love life on the farm and feel very fortunate to have had so many wonderful experiences in life. Done a lot of traveling and feel satisfied.
We make and bottle our own wines. They are delicious!
This year's wine is working in the carboys in the basement and should be a great batch. We picked late and they were very sweet and required very little sugar.
My berry juices are in the freezer for later usage in jelly making. It has been a tough season this year....sigh...
Soybeans are waiting to be harvested but the weather has been wet and cold. Where is the beautiful fall...sigh....
Now we wait on the weather once again...Ah Mother Nature! She is a fickle woman!

A little prayer for mankind -

Dear God,
Bless us all this year...may we have the crops to feed everyone and full bellies, good jobs, roofs over heads and a peaceful world for everyone.
This is all I ask.
Amen.

Always, Jelly

Favorite Foods:

All breads, all veggies, fruits, desserts and a good cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of homemade wine at 3pm!
Breakfast is my favorite meal. But I do love lunch and dinner is another meal I look forward to! LOL
Food is to be enjoyed...that small part of each day... set aside for the enjoyment of good food, conversation, laughter and contentment!
It's a time when we get together as a couple, as a family or as friends! My favorite time!
