. . . i'll be jammed . . .

. . . one word i'd probably use 

to describe the last couple of days

 would be: sticky . . .

. . . or maybe: peel . . .

. . . or: mash . . .

. . . i'd like to thank 

the allred family . . . 

{their family farm is located in payson, utah}

. . . where they grow 

lots of luscious peaches . . .

{and apples, and nectarines, and plums, 

and probably other good stuff, too}

{i restrained myself and only bought two boxes.

then i unrestrained myself and ordered another.

we've seriously made ourselves sick. what a way to go!}

. . . i'd also like to thank 

the driscoll family . . . 

{and their farm in watsonville, california}

. . . for these juicy raspberries . . . 

{but, spoiler alert: use them right away or refrigerate immediately. 

luckily, i used all twenty-four boxes the same day i bought them.}

. . . and i'd like to thank 

the C&H families . . .

{farms located in california and hawaii, i think}

. . . for sugar . . .

. . . lots and lots and lots of sugar . . .

. . . about forty pounds 

went into these 

thirty-eight containers of jam . . .

. . . some peach 

and some raspberry peach . . .

. . . all yummy . . .

. . . fortunately, there was room 

for all of it in my freezer . . . 

. . . sometimes i walk past 

and just open the door 

to admire 

the fruits of my labor . . .

. . . or maybe it's 

the labor of my fruits . . .
