Dear Mom:

Remember this day?  I do, like it was yesterday.  It's amazing just how many emotions one experiences when canning.  Excitement, euphoria, pride, fatigue, frustration . . . remember when water from the canner boiled over onto my new gas stove and made its way into the igniter?  And remember how it started making that clicking noise?  For hours?  I thought we were going to lose our ever loving minds!

We picked peaches off your tree Sunday.  They are spectacular this year.  I ate one for lunch and it was absolutely delightful.  I had to wash the juice off my hands and arms and elbows when I was finished.  



I can't wait to bottle peaches with you
next year.

Missing you.
