N.C. Red beauties

Hey gang...this is a Rednesday post!! I looked thru the 300ish pictures I took on our journey to the North Carolina farm of in-laws and saw some red LOVE. These jars are Heaven!! MIL calls it Mock Strawberry Jelly because they are made from her Fig bushes and strawberry jello packets...genius.

This is dear husbands Mama and those hands were made for G'ma love from the kitchen and garden!! She is making 2 at a time strawberry pies because our oldest loves them. She made 5 of them during the 1 1/2 weeks we were there. She adds jello glaze over them and cool whip top.

I just noticed her Red igloo in the corner. :-) Before I can even get out of bed she's already been to the garden and back carrying buckets from G'mas garden. I ate fresh tomatoes 2 or 3 at a time chopped up for every meal!

Here's a pic of their tomato plants next to the butter beans. I had to take the shot when I saw some ready to pick peeking at me. They still plant a huge garden every year and jar and eat all winter off of the harvest of it but it is hard work. I'd choose the life but don't think I'd ever aspire to work as hard as she does...she never stops.

Even more jars of Mock strawberry jelly out of figs...she never stops. Don't tell her about all these pics she'd never let me back in the kitchen or garden. :-)

Love...DeniseMarie...Bloom where you are planted, baby!!
