Seasonal...



Salad days have now slowly retreated for the year
Cool summer’s eating replaced by autumnal fare
Harvest time brings a bounty of goodness indoors
Jars of berry jams and assortments of pickles await
Taste buds sense the scent of home cooked meals
Hearty casseroles warm those colder weather days
Family meals echo the fun of shared dining chatter
There’s such warmth in the buzz of a busy kitchen…

  2. I agree I love the buzz in a busy kitchen
    Reading this descriptive delicious poem makes me hungry
    My aunt used to makes jars of jam and other goodies. I always went berry picking with their family to be turned into jam

  4. Ah, you bring back memories of kitchens I knew, with my grandmothers and aunties and mother all cooking and bottling together to store the food for the winter months.

  6. Curioiusly this took me back over sixty years to the time both mother and aunts were busy in their kitchens after picking fruit from the garden and making jams or bottling the fruit to stock the larders so many years ago.

  8. Autumn brings eating days and it's time for storage, i.e. canning and freezing. I'm ready for your "Jars of berry jams and assortments of pickles." Mom did both those, our daughter experiments with jam, this time buying rhubarb at our farmer's market. Those are my favorites and she made them for me.
