Happy 4th of July!

Tonight I made a nice salad with green leaf lettuce from my garden; summer is finally here! If you have a garden, you too will be able to enjoy fresh vegetables and fruits during the summer months. Try finding a local farmer’s market if you don’t have somewhere to plant vegetables; they’re abundant this time of year! Fresh grown produce and fruits have a quality to them that is absent in store-bought fruits and vegetables; the rich taste and purity is something that you and your family will surely enjoy! During this time of the year spend time with your family and friends- eat well, and shoot off some fireworks if you have them… just be careful!
