Summer Sweetness

Certain treats can only be properly enjoyed during the long hot days of summer in the South. Like the crisp crunch of a melon picked straight from a field belonging to the farmer's friend. Slightly cooled where it's hidden beneath the endless greenery of a myriad of vines tumbling over one another. Sliced with a pocket knife and broken open on the dirt with a soft thud. No utensils needed.....only fingers. Oh so sticky and surprisingly satisfying in the heat of the day. Summer sweetness at its finest.

The unforgettable freshness of fruit plucked from the vine by eager young fingers is the just one of the plethora of perfect pleasures found in the country life.
