I love July

Of course my favorite thing about July is the Tour de France, especially when it's an exciting race. (Yay, Jens! Jens Voigt, born in 1971, isn't quite old enough for my Grey Jersey classifications, but I like him a lot anyway. And for those of you following the Tour only in the popular American press...there is a difference between losing the lead and not bothering to defend the lead. There is still a week to go...although didn't Oscar Pereiro do some good riding in the Alps last year? This could be a great competition!)

Here are the other reasons I love July:

That ratatouille...the squash, green pepper, and basil came from my garden, and the tomato and eggplant came from a local farm.

But even better:

Blackberries from the farm.

And since I just finished reading The Omnivore's Dilemma, instead of Cool Whip, I picked up a carton of heavy cream and whipped that instead.

As we finished dessert, I said "I could eat this every day." But of course, I can't, since blackberries have a pretty short season, and though it's not too far away, the farm isn't next door, either. We only get this a couple of times a year, only in July.

And that is why I love this time of year.
