Summer’s Abundance

Summer’s Abundance


Has anyone told you lately that there’s so much good stuff out there? If not, I’m saying it.


Summer has its unique way of revealing how much is out there: zucchini for giants, pounds of tomatoes, mint taking over any and every garden if you’re not careful, and enough fruit for pies, ice cream, the freezer, and the tiniest of hands.


Blackberries gild this lily.



Tart red currants pop satisfyingly in one’s mouth.


Greens: turnip, mustard, collard, and cavalo nero


Plump and tight, these blueberries will delight us in pancakes, tarts, and sorbet later this summer.

Let’s toast to abundance! Happy summer, everyone.
