"In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold"

Last night our Relief Society meeting was on how to pick fresh produce, taught by our stake president who is the produce manager at a local grocery store. He told us the secret (understand the seasons when fruits are ripe), let us look and feel and smell different varieties, and then we got to taste some. I had never heard of a crenshaw melon, but now I know that it looks exactly like cantaloupe on the inside, but tastes much sweeter. I came home with a grapefruit for Isaiah and this morning he said, "Wow look at that giant orange!" I showed him how to eat the sour fruit with a little sugar and he devoured it.
