Mother Nature's Bountiful Clues


I just finished a handful of big luscious sweet red grapes.   Woo Hoo for me! 

Some days I have a hard time making good food choices.  My poor food choices just end up on my hips and backside.  Each time I put on clean jeans I want to believe that I left them way too long in the dryer.   I giggle.  Then I get real with myself.

This is the time of year that is really hard for me.   I love, love, love all those sweets.   My sister makes the best peanut clusters using almond bark, chocolate chips, M&Ms, marshmallows and peanuts, of course.   They are soooo good!  

But, I should be excited about all the fresh fruit and veggies that are available this time of year.   Just a few years ago you couldn't find fresh strawberries for sale at the end of the summer.   Strawberries had a short season of availability.   Not anymore.  Last week I bought a pack of lucious strawberries at the market.

Speaking of strawberries and grapes.   Have you ever associated the shape of strawberries or a cluster of grapes with a part of the human body?
