Feeling Squirrely

I have decided that I am part squirrel. I get an inordinate amount of pleasure from putting food away for the winter. One of the best gifts I have ever received was a small size deep freezer. It's small enough to be cute and fits in close proximity to my kitchen; yet it still serves it's purpose and gives me lots of room to squirrel food away. So far, this summer I have put away 27 bags of sweet corn (half went to my mother though), four bags of peaches, a bag or two of rhubarb, two bags of zucchini (I just learned how to spell that today :)), a loaf of zucchini bread,four bags of green beans, and a peach pie. That's all I can remember right now but there are still several bags of apples from last year, a pumpkin pie, and some beef from last winter's stock. Oh and a few items of buns and such that I buy when they're a good deal at the bread outlet. So yeah, all this leaves me feeling very domestic and pleased. And I've still got a ways to go before winter. I've got lots of squash coming in my garden and lots of onions and potatoes as well, although they don't go in the freezer. The coffers are bursting! :) I really was born into the wrong era, either that or the wrong fur. :D
