A reflection on life's changing perspectives as you grow older.
'The Strawberry Season' I'm collecting jam jars And have you seen the price of them They'll be the holy holders Of the jam I'm going to make This is what it takes To what you become Cutting out recipes To fill fusty drawers A granny that bakes Where's she gone That dancing queen That sassy wench Is now compressed By time Filtered into jam jars Sitting on shelves Waiting with hope For the strawberry season © Mary Cecil

So nice.
The quiet side of Mary Cecil.
Don't make her snarl!

I certainly like the possibility that granny was "jammed in jars." And I'm certainly looking forward to sampling the strawberry jelly (only the juice) from a bottle of Made in India, we recently received, off hand, as a donation for the hungry here in Houston. We are not hungry, but I know they are starving in India. Making me wonder why we are getting Indian food here in the United States?

Reminded me of my partner driving about 50 miles south in May one year and picking strawberries from the tail end of the spring crop here. And the time when my grandparents raised strawberries from spring to fall by planting four different varieties in their sandy soil in Western Wisconsin.
