My friend, Mary Jo gave me this old jar of jam.  You could say it's "vintage."  LOL  A few years ago the Knott's label was sold to some big company ("hissss, boooo!") which discontinued its jams and such.  I found out when I could no longer find their boysenberry syrup in stores.  We LOVED that pancake syrup!!!

This is the kind of loose painting I get happy about.  Accurate drawing is important, but less than perfect paint application is my goal.

On our trip we learned that the northwest is huckleberry territory. Near Flathead Lake, Montana cherry orchards are everywhere. We stopped at a one-person roadside stand where a friendly lady was selling fresh cherries and her own chuckleberry jam (cherry+huckleberry). "A chuckle a day keeps the blues away" the tag reads. She had lots of customers. We ate rainiers as we drove, throwing the pits and stems out the windows. Wish we'd bought more jam!
