[1]Today, I bought my first cantaloupe of the season, which is now ripening in a wooden bowl on the kitchen counter. I’m eager for the sugary sweet 100 tomatoes, which should be cropping up in the market any day now. When I used to live in a climate with real winter and without much winter produce, I couldn’t wait for the warm, long days of sunlight and the abundance of fruit. I may get a pang when I hear about friends planning romantic weekends at the beach or the lake. But that’s okay. It’s still my favorite time of the year. What do you love best about summer?
