Fresh! I delight in the bounty of summer! These eggs are from a local farmer who lets her chicken free range. Giant raspberries from the local Farmers' Market laced with nothing except fresh air, rain water, and compost. The tomatoes, blueberries, and sprig of dill are from my own garden. And I love Lundberg short grain organic brown rice since growing it at home does not seem a possibility. This was breakfast, though I've had the identical meal for dinner.
Eating a homegrown tomato right off the vine is truly a sacred experience for me. My senses flood...the redness, the gentle firmness, the unmistakable smell of the tomato plant that stays on my hands after picking, and the flavor of acidic, sweet pulp and sensation of slippery seeds. I love how I have to slurp to attempt to keep most of the treasure from landing on my shirt as I dive into the mystery of sun, soil, water, warm days and cool nights, and seed turned plant and fruit with all my senses. For this and much more, I am grateful!
