I’ve got that summer fever for sure!
There is no time of year, including Christmas, that I look more forward to more than the first week of June. And why? Summer fruit suddenly hits the supermarket shelves, at a price I can afford. That’s why!
Mangoes, Peaches, and the OMG BING CHERRY, STRAWBERRY, I can’t sleep, for the taste of all that great nectar in my mouth. As a middle age fat slob, let me warn you now, your CPAP will not be happy with all that drooling going on under your mask all night.
It’s not just the FRUIT. It’s time to live on the patio again! Fire up the smoker and the grill, and plug in the fountain. And dig down to the bottom of the drawers and find my shorts, and pull the blankets from the bed, short sheet the corners, my feet are free-styling in the cool evening air.
Why I love it so; It’s the best temperature, the best food, and the best change of seasons of all year. Here in California Mountains, it’s also a heck of a lot of work doing fire abatement too. But Spring weeds are running out of pollen, so your head starting to clear, just before the Pines really start dumping their yellow powder, to mess your head all up again, as well as your windshield.
The birds start squawking and complaining outside the open windows at 5:30 AM just before first light. Yet, I can find a way to sleep through it all, into the late morning. That’s why I love the first week of June, it’s paradise, in every way it can be.
There are a lot of people who believe that GOD designed fruit look pretty, so you would eat it. In that case did he make poison dart frogs look bright and pretty so you would want to eat them too? You can always find a counter point to these goofy ideas. But flowers attract bees, which cross pollinate plants, which cause fruit to form,… As an omnivore you are lucking enough to join in the cycle of life and proliferation, even in consumption by ironically having a poor designed inefficient digestive system. But, at the same time, keep in mind that you share half your genes with a carrot!
