July in January

[cbertsch]

I've got a cold that went straight to my chest -- will this never end? -- but am feeling happy regardless. I just went out in the backyard to feel the warmth of the sun and harvest the bounty our distressingly dry and disconcertingly mild winter has brought us. It took me longer than I'd expected to haul it all in:

I was wondering, as I snaked my hands through the frost-browned top leaves in search of red and gold, whether there really is something to the notion that breathing in the aroma of plants and soil is restorative. My lungs feel a lot better. And my eyes have yet to recover from the delight of so much primary color.

My word that is a fantastic and delicious photo.

Eat some of that bounty and get better.

Wow, that looks amazing. It's like the "food porn" on slashfood. Every time I try to take pictures of food, it looks incredibly unappetizing. I don't understand why it is so hard to capture.

I have been told by Arizonian relatives that their weather would be perfect for me and my health problems, particularly the asthma, cold, bronchial allergies, etc? Would you agree? They also reside in Tucson.
