The Fruits (and vegetables) of my Labor

With most of my preserving season now officially over, I can settle back to enjoy the bountiful harvest of my farmers and the subsequent fruits of my labor.  I am dazzled by color and texture everytime I open my canning pantry, freezer and dried foods cupboard.  A wonderful way to settle in for Winter.

Applesauce, Peaches, Tomatoes and Pears--

Canning jars filled by a woman who cares!

Dried Grains, Beans, Herbs and Spice,

Nuts and Fruit and Everything Nice!

Two Freezers full--fowl, soup broth and meat,

veggies and leftovers ready to heat!

No need to go shopping, my work is done;

With a passion for cooking, it's time for my fun!
