I think of my Dad in his overalls when I read that!<br />Oh, I love that you will show Henry (and Joy!) this post of Daddy's sunflowers and his canned goods! You can't see how far back those jars go into the cabinet, but I think they are 8 deep and five across on EACH shelf! And he has loads more that he has to put in the dark in a back bedroom! Lots of food, lots to share!<br />Thanks for your comment, Henry! Take care!
