fruit in the summer

why is summer so wonderful? other than the beautiful warm sun, lazy saturday afternoons and long days in santa monica, this is the time when all the best fruit ripens and gets really, really cheap. especially at the old town newhall farmer's market. the best friend and i decided to brave the 102 degree thursday afternoon heat and pick up something yummy for the week. definitely a good plan.

i have a feeling i know where we'll be on thursday nights from now on...

 nectarines: yum. 

berries, berries everywhere...

pretty wildflowers.
