a quiet, but productive, day

- I had so many squash blossoms in the garden I decided to pick some to try to cook for the first time! 

- A generous harvest from the fig tree...seems every day there are so many ripe figs to be picked. 

- Decided to make jam with the figs. I followed the recipe from Ashley English's book, 

  Homemade Living: Canning and Preserving. I can't wait to have this around for the fall and to give 

  some away! 

- An evening walk in Griffith Park ended a quiet, but productive, day.

 the second four leaf clover I've found in my garden this week! I'm hoping it means a good harvest is ahead...
