Put It Up T-Shirt tomatoes shirt and lightly playful

and lightly playful

or perhaps just enjoying the quiet companionship of a chilly afternoon

and nobody remembers where the beets went in

Put It Up T-Shirt tomatoes shirt and lightly playfulFor gardeners who measure a good summer in full pantry shelves. Putting it up is its own season, the one that comes when the harvest outpaces the appetite. Jar after jar gets filled, sealed, and stacked, each lid a small promise to a future self shivering through winter. The work is hot and long and worth every minute. A winter's worth, sealed by hand. By the time the shelves are full, so is something quieter inside.
