As we push through the garden gate of the old homestead,
we are surprised at how much smaller things are than we remembered them,
and how much work needs to be done.
-The Hummer-
As a young girl I was "allowed" to help with the canning at my grandmother's. I thought it was a blast. As an adult, when I started to can my own veggies it was fun at first but never seemed to end....there was always a little more to do and never enough hands to help. I can understand now why my grandmother "allowed" me to help. A learning lesson and a great memory. Thanks for sharing this photo I can easily relate too!
Oh Hummer Sweetie... I love this photo. It is the BEST. I loved helping my Daddy can. He still cans today at 78 years young. He grows his own veggies and then cans them for the Winter months.
I so wish I had veggies to can. I am going to try my hand at strawberry jam. Wish me luck sweetie.
I still can't believe that you have 6 children and 15 grands. I have 3 children and 8 grands. How do you do it?
