new lids and rings
on thrift-store jars of jam
story of my life
***
strawberries on sale
how can I resist
another batch
***
stirring
waiting for the berries to bubble
nothing to do but think
***
there’s a lot more
think time when making jam
than I remember
***
stirring jam
steam fills the kitchen–
my thoughts float to you
***
stirring in steam
batch by batch
hot summer day
***
windows open
letting the steam out
the day floats in
***
such satisfaction
in putting up summer
for wintertime
