Since we began this blog
my sister and I
refer to each other now
as "Pickles" (that's me)
and "Petunia" (that's her)...
just two very strong constants
in both our lives...
Pickles
and
Petunias
Petunias planted every spring...
Pickles canned every late summer...
Now that I've canned 300
quarts of pickles
(all by myself!)
I feel I've earned
my pet name of "Pickles"
It's a proud moment...
What would Grandma Bertha
have said to me?
Something in German I'm sure...
and I would be able to
hear the pride in her voice.
and then she and I would sit
and rest and talk about all that hard work...
OOOFTA!!
Thanks for stopping by,
Lisa
Oh mein Herr!
ReplyDeleteOh Grandma Bertha would be very proud Pickles and Petunia:) B
ReplyDeleteGranny Bertha might say, "done good girl!"
ReplyDeleteDas ist sehr gut. Sehr gut, Lisa!!
ReplyDeleteDo you do free refills if we return our empty jars?? :)
That is a lot of pickles, Pickles:)
ReplyDeleteYou have been a busy girl! I wish I had that many cucumbers to put up. I didn't grow any this year but seeing your jars of goodies is making my mouth water. I think your Aunt would be very proud of you! Adding your blog to my roll. Can't wait to see what you two will be up to next.
ReplyDeleteOops, I mean Grandma Bertha!
