When I was a little girl my Mom did a lot of canning. As the lids would seal and make the little popping noise, she always told me this was music to her ears. It meant that all of her hard work was paying off and we would have some good stuff to eat later in the year.
I never fully understood her "music to my ears" saying until I started canning after I got married. Every time I hear that little pop I always think music to my ears. So today, after almost 23 years of NOT canning, I made some fresh strawberry Jelly and Jam. As the little jelly jar lids popped, I laughed out loud - thinking as always - that sound is music to my ears.
I am going to take some of this Jelly and Jam to my mom - but I do wish she could have heard my music today! She would have loved it!
Here's to the Ride!
