The apple season has started. Ginger Gold, summer Rambo and Paula Reds are here. I pay closer attention to the new arrivals. The Ginger Gold and Paula Reds I enjoy now. They don’t retain their crispness too long. There is nothing worse than a mushy apple. I now pay more frequent visits to my local produce stand. Pears will also come in season. I like buying them there for they let them on the tree longer. They are tree ripened and sweeter than you can buy in the big supermarkets. One of my favorite pears are Seckel pears. They are small but very tasty pears and only around for a short time. Fresh cider is also around the corner. All harbingers of the next season–Fall.

Sometimes produce reminds us of the temporal nature of things. I bought Winesap apples recently. It is one of my favorite apples. It is not here too long–a few weeks if that long at all.
I love Seckel pears but the season is done for them. They are little but very tasty pears. I managed to buy them twice. Now I have to wait til next year.
I bought at my favorite produce store Bartlett pears several times last year. They were unlike those you can’t get in the big supermarkets. They were tree ripened and were absolutely delicious. This year I managed to miss them.
There are so many things in life here today gone tomorrow. And you have to appreciate them when they are here. Produce reminded me of that. There are seasons for each one. And they are all different.
