Late Summer Bounty

We are beginning to come into the season of plenty; that crossover from summer to autumn when fruit, in particular, is plentiful. Veggies will be a bit later but we’re starting to get some of those, too.

Such deliciousness! Happy Sunday.

Peachy Keen

The Okanagan Valley is quite famous for wine grapes, but for many years before that it was well-known for its fruits and vegetables, especially its tree fruits.

I am not usually a big lover of fruit, but there’s nothing quite like a fresh peach, warm from the sun, gently sweet and juicy, slightly tangy but not acidic. And that heavenly peachy perfume! Such a treat!

So as I sit on the equivalent of a massive glacier, I can always dream sweet summer memories of peaches. Mummm, I can almost taste one.

Do you have a favourite fruit?

Happy mid-week. 🍑
