I use to say that summer was my least favorite season. Although I'm not a fan of the humidity, I'm learning that so many other things about summer bring me endless joy! I love the warm nights where I can sit on the back porch and look at the stars. I love that I can walk every where (unless the humidity is out to kill). I love that the community comes alive with events. I love the farmer's market in town two days a week!
I could go on and on. Another thing that summer brings is tons of fresh fruits and vegetables! Our garden is still growing so there isn't a lot I can harvest, but I love being able to support the local farms at the farmers market. Yesterday, I stopped by and got: 5 ozs of freshly made feta cheese, a quart of strawberries, two pints of sugar snap peas, a french baguette, and one kohlrabi.
So to celebrate this fresh mark of summers return, dinner was light and easy. I made tuna salad, sliced a fresh tomato, and washed some strawberries and peas. I put the tuna on the baguette and dinner was done! Oh my soul, it was so good! Here's to a long summer of fresh produce and joyful days!

hmmm...I support local by buying Blue Bell ice cream in the summer! Not quite the same healthy choice, eh? But a favorite of mine nonetheless! Happy summering!
Yum-O!!! I've been to the Farmer's Market here two weekends in a row and last week got some really good tomato's that are grown locally, in water! Can't wait to see what's there this weekend. Love you!
So I'm curious...what are you going to do with your kohlrabi?
I need to blog about my favorite new thing - strawberry spinach salad. make it all the time with poppyseed dressing -LOVE
