The human race has only one really effective weapon
and that's laughter.
The moment it arises, all our hardnesses yield
all our irritations and resentments slip away
and the sunny spirit takes their place.

The color of that jam is yummy! One of my fave colors to wear in the fall...as a sweater. I also have a purse about that color from last winter.
Laughter is medicine for the soul.
Blessings and hugs~
ohhhh...I want to do this this week. Looks so good!
And all this goodness back to you again, Koralee! What a lovely quote to start my work week! A new school year! Tomorrow and Wednesday I have meetings ~ then it's all about the kids on Thursday!
I hope you find your fall shades of blackberries ~ the jam is like stained glass!
Have a sweet new week too, Koralee!

My Bob is NOT going to work for the first Tuesday after labour day in our married life! We are going to enjoy this month of sunny days and sweet evenings....!
Beautiful jam and wonderful colour. Try Cabbages & Roses for a sweater...or come to the Fieldstone Market (sept 24th) and see what awaits you there!
Beautiful pictures and beautiful thoughts.
I'm reminded of a post that Gwendolyn made...she said, "think pretty thoughts."
Yammie !!....xxx...
Your jam is glowing, viscous, luscious: it will remind you of glowing late summer days in every mouthful.

Beautiful jam and a treat to enjoy this fall.

hello fellow bluebird. Hope your long weekend went swimmingly. That jam looks delicious. I wish I had the patience to make my own jam.
So pretty, these lush berry colors! Visiting you always brings a smile to my face. Hope your week started of on a happy tune!
I've just been given 2 tubs of blackberries and cant wait to start creating yummy things with them. I love the jam, the colour is sumptuous

I so love blackberry jam...my Mom used to make it in batches from the blackberries she and my Dad would pick in Haney (my hometown...now called Maple Ridge) by the river...Fraser Valley blackberries...YUM!
Happy new school year dear Koralee...don't you just love this fabulous weather we are having.
Cheers:)

Homemade jam is the best. It looks so yummy! And you are right... such a beautiful color! :)
A fall sweater in that berry color would be amazing. Now I really must go look soon. I was hoping to wait awhile, but I hear the store calling my name. Love, love berry jam! That quote is pretty amazing too, right on Mark Twain.
I love the blackberry jam shades as much as the autumn nail colors!
Good morning sweet Koralee,
It is 3:30am here and I am starting my morning routine here...I am so tired, but once I get my water and food and shower, I will be ready to go! I AM GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU WERE BACK TOO and had a good day too! YES, we have MUCH TO DO, but for now, I am looking at ONE DAY AT A TIME. Today, more PRACTICING on how to walk the hallways will be done, and how to LISTEN while someone else is reading aloud!!!
PEACE AND HAPPINESS TO YOU TODAY sweet friend! Anita
the other day I watched Oprah .....
She had a guest Toni Morrison who told something what realy hit me .......
about what she learned from her children ...
How important it is how you get on with children . When her children entered the room when they were little she was always looking ....are your clothes right , is your hear good , did they eat well and so on .One day her son showed her a drawing he made and she looked and said "oh nice " and went on ...
He teared the drawing to pieces and she asked why ? "You said nice without realy looking "he said .....
That was the beginning of changing .
Now a days HER EYES ARE LIGHT BECAUSE HER HEART LIGHTS UP seeing them .
THAT is what children see and what makes them grow.
You and your girls and the home-made jammmmmmm
Happy days sweet friend
Oh, guess what? I love jammmmmmm!!!!! Hummm...I close my eyes and can taste this delicious you have there....love it!
LOve, Bela

Dear Koralee,
Mark Twain is right about laughter. It works wonders :-)!
Your daughters jam looks beautiful. Such a pretty colour!
Have a lovely day!
Madelief x
I love all of it too Koralee x
Ohhhh...here I am now at 6:00pm!!! teeeheeee...what a day! FUN, and I had to put a boy in his place. But now he seems more respectful since he knows that if he continues his shenanigans, NO SECOND RECESS!!!! And I don't think he wants to risk testing me...:)
OH AND HOW ARE YOU and your reading program????
Today I taught them what they need to do when someone is READING ALOUD TO THEM. We practiced and did some predictions and inferences...I love to teach, don't you dearest?
OK...here we go again Koralee...we can do this.....I AM CHEERING FOR YOU!!! Anita
Your second picture is such a pretty color almost jewel-like.
I'm also ready for the beautiful rich shades of fall...turtlenecks and jeans, boots! Perfection!
you amaze me ... even berries look amazing with your kind treatment..yum!!
