Today's 12-of-12 is being renamed to....
"My Summer Vacation"
It was a day filled with summertime activities.
It started out with...
CHERRIES!
This morning I made Cherry-Almond Jam...

| Jam: Before |
 |
| Jam: WIP |
 |
| Jam: Done! |
Next... Cherry Pie!
 |
| Pie: Before |
 |
| Pie: After |
Mid-day, I took time to relax.
 |
| Hangin' in the Hammock |
 |
| My view from the Hammock |
Finally, it was time to burn some calories...

| Almost home - cooling down |
If it was a little earlier, I'd grab a piece of pie to celebrate burning 500+ calories over my 16.1 miles of riding, but since I'm trying to lose a little weight, I'll save those calories for another time.
If you'd like to learn more about the 12-of-12 project, visit Chad Darnell's page. He's the one who started it all - there you'll find other 12-of-12ers from around the world, too.
Hope you're having a great summer. See ya next month!

oh man... cherry-almond jam sounds awesome!! Might need to recipe :)
Wow, wow, wow!!
Your cherry pie is very photogenic! Miam!
Love the scenery of your bike ride. 16.1 miles is almost 26 kilometers!! In hills, I'd be dead before the end! I find the hamoc ride more appealing to me! ;¬)
I LOVE cherries and that pie looks delicious! Thanks for sharing your day...
Very ambitious day - You accomplished a LOT! I'm with Ticklebear on this one - (if there were a "LIKE" button, I'd click it) :) - that pie wouldn't have lasted long at MY house either!
mmmh, delicous the cherrys and much better the cherry pie :).
It seems it was a nice day.
bye

YUM! Now I want me some cherry pie.
Wow-those cherries are excellent. What is it about cherry pie that cures all ills?! It was so lovely to see the shots of you making it-reminded me of my Grandmother.
And the bike ride looked great too-congratulations on your summer of fitness-it's going great!
See you next month. HUgs from AB too xx
Can I possibly, please have your cheery almond jam recipe? It's mid winter here in Tasmania, but last summer I made brandied cherries so we'd have them for this time of year - yum!!!
