The Freezer Must Overflow

If you've ever been to my house before, you'll notice I like to hold onto things. Piles and piles of books, papers, toys, ephemera, just things that I like and want to remember. I feel this way about summer, and in turn, its fruits and vegetables, too. Its hard to let go of the good good.

This summer, from strawberry to raspberry to marionberry and blueberry, to peach to pear to plum, I picked. And picked. And picked.









My freezer is filled with summer.

i'm so jealous! we were so frantic with house stuff this summer that i never got a chance to go picking and i'm soooo sad about it.

You are a picking machine! Hope to see what you do with them all winter... we'll all need a reminder of summer.

Jo! That is how I usually feel every summer! Somehow this summer was different, and I count myself very lucky, surely!

Tami ha ha! 99% of them go into our oatmeal in the morning! But when we do something new, I'll remind myself to talk about it here!

yes, I am totally with you on this one. My freezer is so full with strawberries and peaches and corn and various other goodies, I can hardly open it. Such frozen abundance!
