I am longing for fruit.
Oranges and peaches that are so ripe the juice drips off my hands and face as I eat them. Berries that are bursting with flavor...each one an explosion of pleasure. Limes and lemons and grapefruit that in their perfect tartness make my lips automatically pucker. Watermelons that I can eat in the yard and spit seeds like a kid. Pears that in their gritty sweetness make me grin in pleasure.
It is a longing...a yearning...a hunger...for fruit!
I've been watching the berries pretty closely. The Juneberries are probably July berries this year--late Wisconsin spring. They should start coming in in a couple of weeks. The black caps and blackberries and mulberries are thick with fruit. Once they ripen, I'll be in a fruity little heaven!
ReplyDeleteI still have a few dollars left of my SNAP money for the month, and it will definitely be spent on fruits and vegees. My organges and bananas went into muffins so they would go farther so fruit is what I miss the most. I'll soon be posting the recipe for the orange-rhubarb muffins so everyone can enjoy them.
