As the summer winds down and we are into our last true weekend of summer, I have found our little family hibernating in the comfort of our fans and air conditioning. In Eastern Carolina, our summer can be so hot that it can make it difficult to enjoy the outdoors. Most of our summer this year was not spent playing in the water and doing the things we typically do, it was spent in the kitchen doing something else we find fun! Canning our blessings from our garden. This is truly an art, those that can know what I am referring too. It takes knowledge, time, patience and and knowing which way to can a crop. I have been exposed to canning throughout my life, but since John Murphy has come into my life I have had the most wonderful opportunity to learn and experience it first hand in my kitchen. I am so thankful to have full cabinets of yummy goodness. Canning is not only an art for the one that is cooking, it is an art for those of us who have an eye for beauty all around of us. I love to try and capture the moments on camera.... below are my attempts of finding the essential moments that I carry with me.
Love the blog Rene!! Keep it up! Maybe you can provide a "how to can" on one of your upcoming blogs, especially for those of us who are can illiterate!! Love how you got the cat involved....just sayin'!!
ReplyDeleteRene, you make me love you! Jim and I literally were discussing canning and growing our own delights, last night. We have a sun room/porch that is enclosed by windows that open to screens (as opposed to glass or screen only) that is begging to be used for such. It's just uncanny (ar-ar) the way things come together sometimes... it's a God-thing. I'll be reading your blog. You, my dear, will excel. Blog on, sista!
