Yes! We had persimmon, pear, fig, apple and crabapple trees, blackberry and muskidine about, and there were peach orchards nearby. Life was so simple and good back then. And we didn’t mind helping in the kitchen, garden and house. On Saturday nights regular granny started cooking, stopped long enough to take us kids to Sunday school and church, then we all came back to her house and each kid helped finish cooking, whether laying biscuits on the pan, putting mac n cheese together. Even toddlers set the table and put ice in glasses, folded hand-sewn napkins. They did so much for us we didn’t appreciate until we were grown!
Haha amen. But pair it with fresh fruit, veg, and eggs (plus the occasional chicken) from the back yard and it got us by!
