Good-bye Summer!


The temperature has literally dropped like 40 degrees since Saturday.  It's a beautiful 58 F outside right now.  It's the first morning I've had to actually put on a sweatshirt to walk around the house.  And it feels amazing!

I'm still dreading going back to work after a nice and relaxing long weekend, but the bills gots to be paid, right?!  Anyway, in honor of letting summer go, I'm leaving you with a bowl of summer.  Because from here on out, the food is gonna get "comfy" and hearty... just like fall intended it to be!


No real recipe here.  Just combine your favorite fruits of summer (in my case, just simply green grapes and chunks of watermelon), and get your snack on!

I'll be back tomorrow with something less-lazy... I promise!

    i do love to drizzle a little bit on honey and maybe even a bit of feta on my fruit salads - oh and a bit of mint never hurt anyone :)

    We've got the same weather, Peggy...and if you get any rain, can you send it north???? I love having a bowl of chopped fruit in the fridge. Yours would not last long around here :)

    I'm ready for cooler temperatures, but I'm not sure I'm ready for the shorter days that fall brings. I'll just need to make a big bowl of fresh fruit like yours to brighten things up.

    Aw, although I prefer cool/cold weather, I am sad to see summer coming to a close. Great fruit dish!

    Yep, summer is over....we got 24 hours of rain and then the temp dropped to really chilly.
    Have to hang on to the last thread of summer, and fruit is a good way to do it!

    Very refreshing salad. Don't be sad... yes, we had to place all the grilling tools back in the shed but it's fig season now. So there's always a silver lining :P

    The watermelon and grapes look so pretty together! Such beautiful colours! I'm already missing blueberries and peaches...but apples are right around the corner!

    Yum - nothing like summer fruits! I wish I could say the temperature has dropped where I am but in Israel it's still in the 90s! Funny though, I still start to crave comforting fall foods around this time of year even in the heat! Years of programming...

    Huh. We've been having 58-65F weather this summer and finally close to 80F here. Thank god, this is the 2nd summer week we have. So we can still enjoy your delicious summer fruits!

    Seems like summer was absent this year in more places then only in Holland. We only noticed spring (very hot spring) and summer barely got through and now it’s already fall. At least I’ve got my fresh fruit fix this year. Love your very deep red watermelon!
