Granny's gone and done it again

Talking about pears for cobbler. Those things are so good but are almost double the price of peaches now. I will break down and buy some one day maybe. Ma loves them. I'll buy her so pears and a big can of pie cherries for a cobbler too. Probably have to sell a chicken or two first.
Its been a while since I have bought any. I know the regular sized cans of fruit cocktail was over $2.00 last time I bought Tom some.
 
since I was just little. I used to eat from garbage cans behind restaurants when I was around 8
I went to bed hungry some when young during the final years of the Great Depression. My kids never had to. I made sure of it. When my mother was young during the worst of the Great Depression she ate ok because her parents farmed. She had neighbors that lived off of the poke weeds growing by their outhouse and any where else they could find it. Some lived off of boiled catfish from the strip mine pits. On the rare occasion that a friend would butcher a hog and give them some lard they had fried catfish. I had a friend from WI that had neighbors of her parents that lived on lard sandwiches. They should teach this in schools to the whiny brats that complain about school lunches.

I just had Robert chop down some polk. Fawn was trying her best to eat the berries. Im not old enough to know about the depression but I heard stories. It sounded awful
