Our first reflection comes from my friend Mary, who was also my website designer. Didn't she do a lovely job? Thank you for giving my words such a beautiful home! XO- Hannah

We both have midsized families and large kitchen tables and we thrive at feeding others.
This particular Saturday we split a lug of Colorado peaches. These peaches are waited for, coveted. They only come into our local grocery once a year. And signs go up outside saying "While They Last!," "Limited Time" and "Stop in Today!"
We turned up the music, gave the kids a big bucket of Legos and we peeled, sliced and diced for a few hours. We ended up with gallons of peaches for freezing. The last few cups graced a pie crust made with shortening and butter. The recipe taken from a well used church cook book. We peaches just needed a gentle dusting of sugar and a few pats of butter. In no time we were taking fork-fulls of warm and shattery crust-- tiny pieces of peach bite and burst in your mouth like fireworks of summer's deepest joy.

There is nothing as lovely as a kitchen table, a just-baked peach pie and mug of steaming coffee. Another secret Jayne and I share-- those are also ingredients for a lovely breakfast as well.
How has processing food together brought you community? ~Hannah
