The Harvest!

This year we planted a garden, with the help and encouragement of our daughter and her husband.  We planted quite late in the season, so I didn't have much hope that we would harvest much produce.  Wow, was I wrong!  After we planted, I prayed over our little garden, and later I told a friend, that maybe next year I will only pray every other day!

The past few weeks, my daughter and I have been working hard to can and preserve what we have, both from the garden, and some peaches and pears we purchased.  I feel great satisfaction looking at the bottled fruit sitting on the kitchen table, or opening the freezer and seeing the bags of vegetables.  There is something especially satisfying about growing and preserving food together.
