Tastes of Summer

I was cutting these tomatoes in half for the salad. Took a bite of one and was blown away. Never have I ever tasted a tomato so sweet, so delicious. It went like this: one for the bowl, one two for me. The mother's guilt started to set in as I pictured Henry at preschool while I ate my own healthier version of bon bons; that, and raw tomatoes are one of his favorite foods. No worries though as the feeling quickly passed. As I professed to Walter [the dog] how grateful I am for Minnesota summer produce, I just kept popping one gift right after another into my mouth.

Thank you, Mother Nature, for making life taste so good.
