Fruits of Summer

One of the great joys of summer is eating raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries on my cereal in the mornings. Strawberry season is wonderful, and I always relish the first juicy berries of the year. Then, blueberries join them in the produce section of the grocery store. Finally, the raspberries come--most expensive, but worth it.

Ben has been enjoying his berries every morning too. He says them all in one breath: strawberries-and-blueberries-and-raspberries-too. It will be hard to explain to him when they go out of season; I hope fresh apples will assuage his disappointment.
