@chelle ...
What a great story ! I used to hide out in the acacia tree down at the bottom of our property when my birth-mother would get into a snit. From a child's point of view, that was the time to disappear. I'd take my book and hide out in that wonderful tree for hours.
I do have a root cellar in this house, but it is located down on the street level behind the garage and is kind of difficult to get to when you need/want something, so I don't use it. Since I am only cooking for myself, I don't do a lot of canning any more. I'd rather stuff the freezer ...
Smiles,
Lyn
