Summer Fruit Salad
This has been a weird “winter”. At least in this area of the country, winter seems to have skipped us. Believe me, I am not complaining either! I do not get along with snow and cold, those are “bad four letter words” to me!
I always get excited about this time of year – when I start seeing the flowers returning, the birds chirping, the grass starting to grow, the springtime rain showers, I just love it! I’m reminded of Louis Armstrong’s song, “What a Wonderful World”, and truly, I thank God for all the beauty He has given us in the world.
I also know that means summertime is creeping up on us and all the great things that go with it – like picnics, barbecues and trips to the beach! One of my favorite side dishes is a Summer Fruit Salad. It’s like summertime for your mouth. The great thing about it is, you can change up the fruits to what you have on hand or to your family’s taste.
