This is one of my favorite times of the year. As one who enjoys cooking, I'm able to eat things that were grown locally. There is a freshness that adds to the delicious taste. As a photographer, the colors are so vibrant and inviting.
And of course, there is the spirituality of remembering with gratitude all that God blesses us with. I also enjoy the anticipation of what harvest is yet to come over the coming months. The local strawberries are out; the field tomatoes are yet to come. Delicious!! And all gifts from God!!
As I drive around the area, it grieves me that so much of our farmland is being redeveloped into subdivisions and strip plazas and condominiums. I think we'll be sorry for that someday. I only pray that we will preserve some of the farmland for future generations.
I encourage each of us to head out to a farmer's market and offer support by purchasing local produce. You won't regret it!!
