Like a squirrel

I've been busy lately - storing all of the bounty of God's beautiful creation for eating in the months of cold to come.

I said to Mike as we carried another load down the stairs to the laundry room pantry, "I feel a little like a squirrel, storing things for the winter."

We live in such a beautiful part of creation and some of what I love most is the bounty of the fruit and vegetables that we can grow in our area. 

 

So far on the shelf:

pickles

salsa

tomato soup
