Summertime

Well, the solstice and the sunshine make it official...summer is here. My tomatoes seem to grow a foot a day and the bean plants have made it through the snail onslaught and into the light. I am sufficiently sun-colored (not quite burned, not quite tanned) to live up visually to my job title of official City of Berkeley Naturalist.  And I finally want to eat salads every day instead of shunning the very notion. Summer as defined by Erin. Quite fresh.
