Day 17: The Last of the Berries (To be read slowly and sorrowfully)

Prepare to mourn.  The last of the berries are gone. Goodbye to the ridiculously long season of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries.  Goodbye to the nutrient rich deliciousness that is summer fruit. Goodbye to the tastes that remind us of childhood and good things to come.  Goodbye to the sunny skies of summer and the tangy sweet bite of the berry.  Good riddance to the yellow jackets that swarm as berry juice runs down one's face. And goodbye to fresh berries and stone fruit on cereal. We will miss you until next summer.
