July 3, 2009 - Visiting the Family Garden (AR)

As I type, Rodney's parents are in the midst of "canning season" - the time of year when they harvest the beans, squash, beets, etc. from their garden and preserve them in Mason jars for meals during the coming winter months. We really enjoy sharing in this tradition as we shuttle the veggie-filled jars back to our home in Nashville for a future home-cooked meal. Great comfort food! :)
