Jenn, a sweet guest that stayed this past weekend at my bed and breakfast, brought me a jar of homemade mixed berry jam. I have been eating it straight up from the jar on a spoon. Oooooooh… the blend of various summer fruits is perfect. Today, I spread some on a sweet potato scone. Yum! 

Mixed berry jam 
Waiting in my email inbox this morning was an organizing tip of the day that I had signed up for on Martha Stewart's site. It was a downloadable sheet of jam labels ready to print. The label with strawberries and raspberries was so very pretty and perfect for Jenn's jam jar. I had no self-adhesive labels, so I printed the label onto regular printer paper and haphazardly wrapped a strand of kitchen twine around the jar to secure it. Jenn's gift was perfect as it was… but the labels' arrival was so timely.

    My girlfriend is out at our house. She was reading your blog on our computer. Her cousin sent her your site. I had to look…………how beautiful! I love everything about your blog……your bed and breakfast……..your recipes……your pictures………..very very nice. I will be coming back again and again. I came to your jam and thought I would comment here. You are very talented. Just had to say hi. Now I am off to look around! I already know I am going to love it!
    Hugs new friend, Linda

    I read one of your blog’s posts about how when someone leaves a comment, enters a drawing, or requests a free giveaway it is like you are greeting them at your farm house’s front door and inviting them in. I agree with your analogy. It is that personal aspect… amazing really how blogs close the gap… connecting us across the wide expanse of this country. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. You are welcome to drop by anytime, Linda.
