Ewe Update & Blackberry Jam Picture

I am so glad to report that our ewe "Willimina" is up and eating.  We aren't sure what it was but we think it was either "bloat" or "colic"  I just know she was soooooo sick.  The old saying "a sick sheep is a dead sheep" wasn't so this time.  I'm up very very late trying to get the kitchen cleaned from an evening of blackberry jam making.  I hope these pictures load right.   I'm still practicing my blogging skills.  We will have enough for us and there's still a ton of blackberries for me to pick.  I feel very blessed but it's a lot of work.  My dh helped alot.  Well, hope all is well with everyone.  Good Night

Your blackberry jam looks wonderful! It makes me want to go down to my dad's property in Tennessee and pick some of his wild blackberries that I know are just hanging on the vine waiting to be used!
