WHAT'S INA CAN OF FRUIT?
The canning season is always an
enjoyable time to me. But this en-
joyment
njoyment extends until the cans are all
emptied. With the opening of each,
can there come pleasant memories and
humorous occasions that make the
contents doubly enjoyable to all.
For instance, when I open a can of
black cherries, I see _ my husband
dangling from the limb of a cherry
tree when a sudden gust of wind blew
his ladder over. I also see a wet
and bedraggled creature whom he
calls wife descending from a nearby
tree and rushing to his rescue, while
it rains and stops our picking for that
day.
From my cans of black raspberries
I' get a picture of myself, ill, and the.
kindest auntie in the world going
several miles to stand in the hot sun
and pick them for me.
My blackberries bring a picture of
the -big cool woods and singing birds
on that hot July day that my mother
and I picked them.
The white cherries bring a picture
of hubby and I sitting up, until eleven
o'clock to get them looked over and
canned, because they spoil so easily
after leaving the tree.
The strawberries show a beautiful
dewy,„ fragrant June morning with my
two boys :'and I on our knees gather-'
ing the beauties:
Each variety brings its picture and
memories, but the best of all, I .think,;,"
is the one I get from° the peaches. A
trip, of a hundred miles and return, j
through the Niagara fruit belt to '
Lake Ontario, was one to be reniem-
tiered. Miles and' miles of peaches,'
peas, piens and grapes; our meals by
the side of the road, and the night on
the shore with our blankets spread on
the `sand and the old 'lake to lull us ,to
sleep, all conte back to me with each
can of peaches , open,—Mrs. J. N.
