I love September. I love the Utah State Fair, the Salt Lake
Greek festival, FanX, and the Garden of Quilts at Thanksgiving Point. I love September’s
weather; a much-needed break from the high 90’s and low 100’s we’ve been
dealing with for months. I love September for the colors: the trees that are wearing
red, gold, orange and purple just now, and for the crystal-clear blue of the
sky. One of the best things about September is the tomatoes. They’re beautiful right
now – fat, deep red, flavorful and juicy. We’ve been eating them in salads, in
soups and sauces, in sandwiches, and just as they are, straight from the
garden. I even made a batch of tomato juice for our breakfast. I know in a few
short weeks, I’ll be settling for the tasteless pink cardboard the grocer and
restaurants will call tomatoes, and that I’ll be counting the days until I have
REAL tomatoes again, next September.
