Summer’s bounty.

Food. Plants are our food. Fruits, vegetables, grains, roots, they are all plants that live on our planet. Each one requires care, water, sun. If you have ever been out in a field harvesting fruits or vegetables you realize how much time and physical work it takes to get your food. So when you go to the grocery store, farm stand or Costco, think about the journey of one berry or tomato— a seed planted and nurtured, the sun, rain or watering, the time to grow it, defending it from predators, picking it, washing, packing, transporting, unloading and putting it on the shelf for you. That is a resource-filled process and journey. Enjoy and savor each delicious raspberry or tomato.
