Fruits of Summer











Well, it is not hard to be pessimistic about Summer in the South. The wicked heat, the constant afternoon showers, the bugs ect. One of the wonderful ,among many, things about a rainy summer like this one has been, is all of nature's goodies. Fresh tomato's, fat green and red apples, big plump concord grapes and of course black berry's. In the evenings, Little E loves to stroll on to the adjoining ten acres where we have endless black berry's. It is a little bit of a walk across our land to get there and he usually ends up on my shoulders before we get back, but it is worth the trip.

When the sun sets, a cool steady breeze always seems to move in across our little meadow making the last few minutes of each summer day wonderfully pleasant. That's when we like to settle in and the next sport begins. The hunt for fireflys.
