Right now I’m loving tomato and peach season. tomatoes, tomato-peach season

I love making salsa, more salsa, bbq sauce, jam.

I love the ping of a canning jar sealing and standing and stirring in the steamy kitchen.

I love the golden color of peaches cooking down and the tumble of red-yellow-green of tomato-peach-peppers in the salsa pot.

I love eating ice cream (or chips and salsa) at the end of the day and picturing hot toast slathered with golden jam on a cold morning.

And I love looking at all the jars—adding these orange-reds and yellow- golds to the greens and berry reds and purple-blues—filling my shelves, proof that I have done something with all these summer hours.

  • My early morning quiet time with coffee and my writing notebook
  • This post about another writer’s mornings
  • The height and color in my garden
  • The canning cupboard shelves filling up
  • Space I’ve cleared (bye-bye clutter—it’s a slow process)
  • An abundance of hot peppers—stuff them with a mixture of cream cheese, cheddar, and a spicy sausage and bake until the cheese is good and melty.
  • Notes and writing from friends with details about moments they will remember and the texture of their days.

What are you loving in these last days of August?
