A taste of summer

It's winter here in the northeast, and the weather is almost acting like winter. I say almost because while it has been cold, the ground as remained relatively dry and snow free so far...

Today I had a real treat, a taste of summer provided by a peach from Chile.

Summer fruit doesn't always travel well, and I am usually leery of beautiful displays of peaches and nectarines in the heart of our winter. I'm so glad I was pulled in by the sight of peaches in the grocery store this week. They looked good, they smelled good (what, you don't smell summer fruit before you buy it?), and what a fabulous taste! Peaches, yum!
