Jars Full of Summer

Marching across my pantry shelf Jars filled with summer's bounty sweet Jams and jellies, and all kinds of fruit But much more than just a savory treat The effort to reap nature's gifts Something so satisfying for me Appreciating all the earth gives Food and satisfaction, nearly free 1/18/12

what a cool opening line you used. That food storeage personified. My mom used to do this and put them all lined up in our creepy basement so we didn't like going down there. I have never canned one item myself. I think it is a lost art and you are keeping it alive, dearie. Good poem
