the fruit!

i feel overwhelmed. with spring nearly over and summer inching forward, the bounty of glorious fruit is  driving me kinda crazy.

the melons and berries, the stone fruits alone! when i wake up in the morning, i have all of these options. and coming from a creature of breakfast habit, it's a little daunting to decide what to dive into. an internal monologue ensues...

should i have blackberries or peaches in my yogurt? how about both? but look at the cantelope...a refreshing side to my cereal. oh hell, i'm really in the mood for apricots in my granola. but the cherries! what about the cherries?!

and that's just breakfast. you can imagine what the rest of my day is like when i have to consider the other meals. crazy.

don't even get me started on treats. of course, these lovely summer fruits just scream TART! CRUMBLE! ICE CREAM! GALETTE! CURD! how the hell am i supposed to choose? it's all just so good.

please don't confuse this venting session with a summer fruit abomination. no, no, that's not the message. i'm just so smitten by this bounty that i get a little emotional and, at times, confused. but honestly, as long as my stockpile continues to grow, i try my darndest to put the drama aside and just enjoy.
