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…

Mmmm. That's next month for me, and what a pleasure it will be. I can almost smell all the goodness in this busy kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI agree I love the buzz in a busy kitchen
ReplyDeleteReading 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
Oh yes, i love the heart fare that comes with the changing of the seasons! Lovely to read you, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteAh, 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.
ReplyDeleteLove this blend of food and seasons so fulfilling to the senses. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCurioiusly 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a warming scene - winter brings good things
ReplyDeleteAutumn 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.
