Jam
As I am picking rosella to make jam I was wondering who else is also making their own jam and which fruit are they using.

When I was growing up in Montana, my family's favorite jelly was made from chokecherries. Not knowing any better, I ravenously threw one of the berries in my mouth while we were picking them, and yuck... choke cherry is right. It's like it sucks out the moisture from your mouth, too. Yet, add enough sugar, and anything tastes amazing, I guess. ๐

Let's Welcome Two New Cottagers (I just made that up ๐)
I'd love to welcome @Cherise Clough who is a "System's Fairy" and I love good systems for everything from work in my office to cleaning the bathroom! Cherise is an admin Queen and @Paula Chapin is a paper lover who is ready to nuture her creative heart, so we are going to have lots to talk about!

Reporting in on yesterday's One Thing:
So I worked on my video on and off all day yesterday and still didn't get it done and would you believe I worked on it again today, probably another 2 hrs at least - it's taking so long. So maybe in reality I have set a task too big. Maybe I should have said I would get the footage loaded first (yesterday's one thing) and then today edit (my one thing focus) and then tomorrow upload (tomorrow's one thing focus) that's essentially 3 days of work right there. How did your Monday work day go? ๐คฃ๐คฃ Ok lets go - be honest Did you stick to your Monday plans - even if you didn't do the one thing task? Did you stay focussed?

My brain finally stopped hurting. It took 2 migraine pills, 2 ice packs and a blueberry milkshake (my family is so nice to me). Oh and 8 hours or so to not be in pain. Sigh. Anyone up for some peaceful art stuff. Sorry if I am over sharing.

@Kate Bullock Yeah. I wish I could tell the cause and prevent it. If I am around a trigger I usually try to run for the hills if it's an option. All good right now, but who knows. Allergies and heat don't help. Shrug.

I love the creative process as a fiction writer and visual artist, but my day job is spent solving complex computer problems by creating software.
