Summer Kitchen

   When the heat of summer became unbearable, the cookstove was moved out to the porch where it was a bit cooler. Everyone used to have a summer kitchen. The lady of the house was given a break from the high indoor temperature for about the three hottest months of the summer.
   I remember how the food was put on the counter and we just helped ourselves and went out to a shady spot to eat.
   It wasn't just the everyday cooking that was the problem but the job of canning went on whenever there were things to be preserved. Meat, fruits and vegetables needed to be put up whenever they were available. The inside of the house was unbearably hot most of the summer.
   You can find the EBook Kindle edition of "The River Calls" at Amazon.com and at peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day. 
   I invite you to visit "The River Calls" blog site each day for a small look into what life was like a long time ago.

Good Reading,
Ron
