Killdeer

This is not a real good picture.  But,  I still wanted to share a picture of a killdeer that migrate to my fields at home, usually in the spring and they stay all summer and early fall.  We usually have several different nest of these birds.  I always find these birds very interesting to watch and look forward to their arrival.  Even though sometimes they sure drive our dogs nuts!

The 1937 Ford Coupe

Now, what country home is complete without a few (boy toys).  This is my father-in law, husband, and my son's 1937 ford coupe completely redone all original.  And, coming-soon will be a 1939 Chevy truck , all roded out with allot of "eye candy".

The Jelly Cupboard

Well, since this blog is actually called the Jam and Jelly
Jar Box. I thought I would share my Jelly and Jam cupboard.
Yes, I do make allot of jelly, jam and sauces.  I have canning books that range form 1920 to the present.  Some of my work has even been known to win a few ribbons at the local fair. While my stock is getting a bit low for the winter, I am sure come spring I will get the canning bug and start all over again.
