Green beans, freshly picked from the garden at early morn.

 

Green beans in a lovely old yellowware bowl.

How Diane loves to hear the ping of the jars as they are sealing, whilst having tea after the jars have been taken out of the canner. To her, the sound of the jars sealing is like a squirrel storing up nuts for the long winter. 'Tis so good to enjoy naturally homegrown vegetables and fruits all the year through.

 

Diane's All-American Pressure Canner. Some jars of put up wax beans are in the background.

 

Some of the canned goods put up at Corgyncombe Cannery.

 

One of Diane's old wood cookstoves.

 

 

Nothing quite smells as delightfully fragrant as sun dried, wind blown, clothes hung out on the line.

 

Cornstalks, pumpkins, and Old Glory in the sunlight of early morn.
