What a wonderful harvest we are
enjoying this summer! The fruit trees are heavy with luscious, juicy fruit, the
garden is providing buckets full of fresh vegetables, and the jars are filling
up for the winter! August brings us bushels of delicious peaches. Dry some,
make jams and butters, preserve them plain, and eat as many fresh as you can. (There
is nothing better than a sun warmed peach fresh from the tree: you know - the
kind that drips juice down your chin, no matter how sophisticated you may
feel?) Corn will make its debut this month too, as well as all the tomatoes,
squash, cucumbers and more that we are already enjoying. They all offer another
great way to fill freezers and jars. Be
sure to show your gratitude to the Lord for the bounty of the summer by being a
good steward over that which He has given.
