I think it's this time of the year that I miss my parents the most. Remember the end of summer canning and freezing of vegetables as they wrap up and getting ready for the holidays. The smell of freshly cut wood and smoke from the fireplace.

yes, I sure remember my parents canning things from garden, was alot of work, and sure tasted good in the winter
(love the sweet corn) and we would take green tomatoes wrap in newspaper and put in the attic and by Christmas would have red tomatoes

I never heard of the green tomatoes in newspaper. That is so neat! I just can't even seem to grow decent tomatoes and my parents always had a lot!
We canned a lot of vegetables and made jams and jellies. I don't think many people do that now.

I totally agree. I realize it has only been a couple of months but I thought I was really doing better but for some reason the cooler air, the smell of fall, all of it has me thinking more and more about my dad.
Miss you Dad! :D
