Memories of Summer Fruits

Beth Atalay - Having fresh salad is a meal in itself! I think it's so healthy too. It's too bad you can't eat pineapple. An old friend of mine told me long ago that if you ever feel like you're coming down with a cold, eat fresh pineapple. The few times I felt the sensation of a cold coming on, I did what he said and sure enough, I never got further than the initial sensation and stayed healthy!

Have a wonderful day!

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - there is no doubt in my mind that your trip to the Farmer's Market was productive and satisfying. It always is for me too!

Cheers to good eating. 

Ed Silva - isn't that interesting how certain parts of the country get more fruits than others? I never was a fan of frozen food but we do learn to improvise, don't we? May you always stay healthy and have a good variety of foods your body needs. 

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint - there's something about those old fashioned fruit and vegetable stands that lure me in and I am hooked! It reminds me of a time I was living in New England. I took my son out of camp to enjoy the day with him. You can only imagine at his young age the only thing that interested him was having a good meal outside of summer camp. However, it was on a Sunday and restaurants were closed! I didn't want to disappoint him and when I saw a farmer's wife at a road stand selling her home made blueberry pie, I bought a pie and asked her if she would sell me two spoons too. She went inside and got forks instead and then my son and I sat on the side of the road sharing the blueberry pie under the Vermont sky! It was delicious and very satisfying to both of us! 

May there always be a roadside stand nearyby whenever you need it! Enjoy and eat well. 

Endre Barath, Jr. - Awe, thanks for the comment. It's how I live my life and it seems to work well too!

Enjoy your day!

Nina Hollander, Broker - Fresh cherries always sweetens my body and soul. If I could find a house with cherry orchards close by, I would easily be persuaded to buy! They are so healthy and dainty too!

I hope your husband improves everyday and that you have the strength to tend to all his needs with good advice from his doctors. I am thinking of you and hoping he recovers fully. 

Kat Palmiotti - I had no idea that 'Flathead Valley is also a cherry bonanza.' That's what I call Cherry Heaven! I'll bet that when the cherries blossom in springtime, it's a gorgeous site to see! Come to think of it, I can understand why your climate is perfect for growing cherries. Jars of cherry jelly would be thoughtful client gifts too or gifts for folks who come to visit you. I can't think of anyone who isn't wild about cherries!

There's always something great to learn about where you live in Flathead Valley, Montana!

Michael Jacobs - Cherries are delicious! It's the best part of summer for me! 

Enjoy your day today!

Brian England - Thanks! I have a big project going on today and I hope things go well. When  you hire a contractor to do work at your house, you just never know how it's going to turn out. Right about now, I would love to have a bowl of cherries while they are working but instead, I'll settle for my 2021 organic fruit spread sour cherry in a jar with no cane sugar, certified USDA Organic. That should sweeten my day, regardless of results.

Have a healthy day!
