My sentiments exactly Avril. But heh what we in Minnesota won’t do for wonderful fruit. Our fruit shipment from Washington came in last night during one of the hottest, most humid days of the summer. A friend said yesterday the only place in the western hemisphere more humid then Minnesota was the Amazon according to MPR (Minnesota Public Radio).

But we got all 249 boxes unloaded from the semi and into our living room and today there is much joyous snaking as friends and family come to pick up nature’s bounty. On a slightly philosophical note today I am reminded of just how blessed we are in this country. Just look at the stacks of fresh produce available to us! And thanks to next door neighbors for helping us unload and bringing amazing fresh bread over to us. Now we have bread and fruit.
