Today I had my first local peach of the season. It was just slightly under ripe, a bit more firm than I normally prefer, but the fragrance was too intoxicating I bit into one. What a sensation! Truly the taste of the sun, you know this fruit was on the tree until very very recently. It was so alive: the warmth of the sun light, spring rains, buzzing bees, sweet smelling flowers, all those gifts entered my body in one bite. I felt like a millionaire--what more could I possibly want?
I am also happy to report that this has been a great year for farming here in the Northeast. Our hardworking farmers certainly deserve it after the disastrous few years they had in recent years.
