Update and jelly

I'm feeling a bit better. Maybe sleeping nearly 36 hours had something to do with that, I don't know. I woke up every so often, as those on FB know, but mostly I was asleep since I got home from work Tuesday night.

Today was payday, so I collected my paycheck, went to the bank, then picked up a few things in Town. Most importantly, I picked up canning supplies so I can make some apple mint jelly. My apple mint has grown abundantly and I might as well use it in delicious jelly. Since jelly isn't a big deal to make, I should be able to get several half-pint jars worked up in no time. I was wanting the 4 ounce jars, but couldn't find them without going to Big Town, which I wasn't in the mood for. The half-pints will be nice, though, for using here or for gifts.

Apple mint jelly is delicious with meat dishes, but it's just as good on fresh buttered bread or toast, or on yeast rolls. It's a delicate flavor so it doesn't overpower other things you're eating.

The sun is now shining beautifully outside, which makes me want to go out and play in the dirt. However, I don't want to overdo it, so I'll just take it easy this afternoon. I have to work in the morning so I don't want the crud to kick me again.
