Our local paper, the Valley News, has an article on local efforts to help the Gulf Coast area. We donated to Red Cross a couple days ago and I gave blood yesterday. Here's the status of blood supplies in New England, they are really in need of O- and B-.

Find your the nearest blood drive center or area to volunteer.



Elderberries

Or, in Faith's case, she picks sixteen pounds and gets purple fingers, bowls of Elderberries, and, eventually, jam. Along with a few surprise spiders, slugs, and beetles along the way. We have a lot of Concord grapes this year, too.

Actually, TEN pounds, but it may as well have been 16...

Grapes?

My, I hope you discovered the slug, spiders et al before the jamming...

They look lovely. I bet the jam will be wonderful. And I love that song.

Discovered some of the critters, but I'm sure some will be adding to the protien content.

Picked one by one? Wow, that's dedication!
