I need to come north for your Winter Scallops! It’s so true. We’ve contorted our lives out of seasonality probably for misguided convenience I suppose. I just drove by my favorite little roadside produce stand. It’s still closed but will open soon. I look forward to its overflowing boxes of goodness grown just down the road. My favorite & new discovery -the yellow flesh watermelon. I swear it’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted. You have to have it at the just picked peak. It’s not the same if you don’t. Just like those scallops wouldn’t be exactly the same if you froze them and had them later. Maybe that’s why time seems to fly by here in the South for a northern girl. Other than some changes in temperature like warm to holy hellish hot it’s very similar as the seasons come and go. While not as striking as the north, but thankfully just like home, what the earth gives us does change. Up next for us strawberries. Not sure my dna is used to fresh ones in April but I look forward to this new season. Great think piece Matt. Loved it.
