"She cans the pickles, sweet & dill
She cans the songs of the whippoorwill
And the morning dew and the evening moon
'N' I really got to go see her pretty soon
'Cause these canned goods I buy at the store
Ain't got the summer in them anymore.
You bet, grandma, as sure as you're born
I'll take some more potatoes and a thunderstorm.
Peaches on the shelf
Potatoes in the bin
Supper's ready, everybody come on in, now
Taste a little of the summer, (3x)
My grandma put it all in jars.
I'm as warm as a July tomato.
Hope that made you smile. (By the way - pretty cool apron my friend Lucy gave me last week!
Love the photo! I've put up a bunch myself this summer. Mostly peas and green beans and a few other items. Good to see you have a blog. I have one too! holthousehomestead@blogspot.com. Check me out when you can.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Ginny. Reminds me of my mom and the rows of canned goods she had lined up on the cellar shelves. It's good that we can preserve little bits of goodness--in jars and in memory. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope this composition becomes a watercolor. Love your blog. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow very inspirational. There is nothing more satisfying than preserving the food you've grown yourself.
ReplyDeleteI saw a painting you did of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I cannot get on your website and I wondered where else I might see it and if it is for sale.
