But then a lot of your cooking and baking sends me reeling with the realization of how much work my grandma did on the farm. When we visited as kids every summer, she rarely did any of the intensive work like canning; she wanted to be out taking walks in the woods with us kids. And yet, the shelves in the basement were always stocked full of vegetables, jams, etc. Amazing.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979866600334392422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-17799192429927371412014-10-02T09:58:09.666-04:002014-10-02T09:58:09.666-04:00Beautiful color and light.

Very much more beautiful than what's in Tiffany's, believe me.<br /><br />I wish that I had some family jam/preserves/jam making memories from my own family years way back yonder, but I don't.
