So it's March.
The garden is just starting to wake up and we get a surprise Winter Event.
According to NBC we no longer call them snow storms.
For some reason I was not expecting it.
I am already dreaming of Pansies, Ranunculus and Crocus.
Another thing I have been doing a lot of lately is remembering better days.
Now, don't think I am unhappy and bitter about the life I now lead.
What's there is be bitter about?
What? I am totally OK with my son up and moving south with my favorite daughter in law and I am adjusting quite well to my baby boy living in the Pacific North West. Emerald City, whatever!
When he called after visiting for a couple of weeks to say he was staying, I hardly even cried.
I was totally brave when after 14 years I had to make the decision to say goodbye to our fluffy friend
Augie the golden retriever.
The house is incredibly quiet but I am getting used to it.
Sounds like some crazy stuff.
I can't dwell on what I don't have but cherish the memories....
Seriously? That's the kind of stuff my counselor charges big bucks for? ?
OK, Here I go....
.... when we bought a ton of peaches from Troggs Hollow......
They were seriously, the best Peaches ever.
We shared a few with my next door neighbor and quickly turned her into a Peach addict.
There were rumours of her hanging around the Farmers Market, begging for more even after Trogg told her there just wasn't any more.

| Our plan was to can jam, butter, salsa and sauce all from peaches.And we did it!
That's what I love about my family! They are creative, spontaneous, great cooks, funny and full of life!
I will appreciate our time together even more since I know how rare it is!
I can't wait until the next time we end up with an overabundance of joy in my kitchen! Or boxes of fruit, veggies, or brewing equipment.
I don't know when that will be but I'll keep you posted!
What is your favorite memory of last summer? |
