'Tis the Season

Yesterday something happened that hasn't occurred in quite a while. For the first time in months, my car turned into a sauna and I had to turn on the AC. While soon the apartment will take on the same routine, I choose to focus on the good things that spring brings, instead of the power bill that will be calling my name. Here are the seasonal fruits and vegetables that will be on my farmer's market shopping list and will have my taste-buds wanting more.
