jamberry


Under the bridge
And over the dam
Looking for berries
Berries for jam


Strawberry ponies
Strawberry lambs
Dancing in meadows
Of strawberry jam!


Mountains and fountains
Rain down on me

Buried in berries

What a jam jamboree!

(from Jamberry, by Bruce Degen)

As you can see, Grandad and Yiayia made it to NC just in time to save one sick mama and to enjoy the fresh strawberries! Jam and tarts have already been enjoyed, I am recovering thanks to the extra sleep and helping hands, my fence is mended, my cabinet door is fixed...and we still have 4 days!
