Cool and cloudy this morning. We did our weekly grocery shopping and I treated myself to some jams...sour cherry and also apricot. As a rule I make our jam using far less sugar than store-bought but once in a while I want something different on my toast. Now I have choices 💗.
We have a Queen Elizabeth rose that we bought over 20 years ago. Initially we put her in the front along the driveway but she was plagued with Black Spot. We gave up trying to deal with that but couldn't get ourselves to throw her away. Instead she got plunked in the very back in what was the "wild area". She amazed us by thriving there and every year she produces many lovely blooms which DH has to cut with a long lopper because she has grown to over 10'high and the flowers are always right on the top. ( Black Spot still ravages her and she has few leaves left).
We had a great Canada Day gathering. Thank you to all who sent good wishes. I'll return those wishes for all Americans celebrating tomorrow 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Thanks for visiting
I jumped with excitement when I saw the Dora Apricot! I always buy the Dora Apple Jelly, it is delicious on toast, with or without peanut butter! I haven't tried the apricot yet, but the apple jelly is fantastic! And this is made here in Quebec as well! Ste-Anne-des-Plaines! How lovely to see this in your photo! Your second photo is beautiful and heartwarming, as is your blog header! Thank you so much for sharing your posts, they are always a joy to read! Happy 4th of July to you!

Oh apricot jam sounds delicious. My favorite jam on toast is raspberry without the seeds though.
