Would people outside our circle understand the process?<br /><br />I am happy that Ann went with Mother to gather the weed.

There are so many good things that are done each day, it is important to recognize those little efforts, even if they aren't in a jar. <br />I have often longed for a little understanding about my appreciation for asparagus. I have always loved asparagus, but I think the time spent with Mother hunting for the new green spears along the ditch bank made whatever there was to eat taste even better. It was when we were asparagus hunting that she taught me the little ditty "John Brown's donkey had a red morocco tail, John Brown's donkey had a red morocco tail, John Brown's donkey had a red morocco tail, and they bobbed it like the the girls do now". She would sing it with me and then we would laugh, like we had just done something a little naughty. Nonsense was dished out sparingly so this is a very strong memory for me.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652616779595499610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-37642684207914283462010-11-06T10:53:48.891-06:002010-11-06T10:53:48.891-06:00I loved asparagus, but I did spend some time under...I loved asparagus, but I did spend some time under the culvert going down to Parkins' protecting Liz from the wrath of mother who thought asparagus was next to sainthood. Eventually, we had to come out. It was kind of dark in there.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174492647465668322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-28561746343697703402010-11-06T02:59:49.651-06:002010-11-06T02:59:49.651-06:00This is excellent but please don't make it sou...This is excellent but please don't make it sound like asparagus was a sacrifice to you, to the rest of us maybe.<br /><br />You won't believe this but my word verification for posting this is "plater".Steve Bloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14461084071883064196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-67461604853169911802010-11-05T22:15:04.728-06:002010-11-05T22:15:04.728-06:00So that's where I got it from.

Coins are not to be spent; they are to be stashed. Besides my neighbor and I were comparing boyhoods: we both spent Saturdays cleaning out cowbarns and chicken houses and we agreed we were scarred for life while all our friends were having a grand time at the movies. But a nostalgic piece.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174492647465668322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-40452322639842281762010-11-05T14:31:34.693-06:002010-11-05T14:31:34.693-06:00Thank you for the memories.

It is a good time to be thinking of others - maybe if I start now, I can have something for next year.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728351230605312730noreply@blogger.com
