The Taste Of Summer

Growing up in The Garden State, with a dad that used our backyard as his personal garden oasis, made me appreciate and salivate over all the home grown summer fruit and vegetables. I can taste the juicy sweetness of an ear of silver queen corn on the cob. There is the delicious righteousness of eating a tasty tomato off the vine or a juicy, tree ripened peach as it makes its way into my mouth with the overflowing juice running down my chin. Or there are the simple summer taste sensations of refreshing ice tea, lemonade and the sweet yumminess of ice cream on a hot summer day. Joy!
