Fresh Fruit

4H sells fruit each spring
our order arrived this morning to many ooohhh's and aaaahhh's
quickly followed by request for an apple, a pear, an orange
after cutting up several pieces of fruit the table quickly filled with many eager little fingers as they quickly
consumed the fresh fruit. A welcome taste at the very end of winter when all the fruit we consume comes from the freezer, or a can
and the little bits we buy in the store has so little flavor. A reminder that soon we will be eating our own fresh fruit grown right here at home...soon raspberries, and strawberries will fill out plates, rhubarb and perhaps a pear or two (still waiting patiently for our tree to produce this could be the year) followed by apples early in the fall (we don't want to rush that season tho) We can fill in our selections with weekly visits to the farmers market where others offer a variety of choices in the fresh fruit and veggie department.
