Your haiku triggered a memory for me , only my aunts and I were canning cooking pears in light syrup with spearmint leaves. Thank you for your haiku so truthful and imaginative. Emma
Creates a memory and nostalgia of a time when people treasured their resources be it preserving apples or using scraps of extra cloth. I could just see my grandmother busy in her kitchen.

Thanks Ms Pierson: My Grandmother Lela grew her own fruits and veggies and preserved them for winter — Glad we share strong memories of "canning day"

Thanks Susan — you get the "nostalgia and comfort" in the quilting and the canning.

This was nicely written. I just got into writing stories and poems myself and found this process very inspiring. Thanks for the nice inspiration.
