This fits the weather...
It's raining, after a mostly gray day.
The fabric isn't quite true to color. The dark is a dusky plum made from black hollyhocks. That layer of color plus the little dots (from sumac) was made last year. It wasn't quite what I wanted so it went it the walnut vat last week. It's much better and is now under construction.
One of today's projects...damson plum jam which really is more the consistency of a caramel because I was distracted and cooked it a bit long.
Mom and I both got trees a few years ago. This is the first year that we both had a good enough crop to make things. I am flavoring vodka with the rest. And maybe a crisp...
And now I am considering the rose hips on the dog rose....
