Dear readers, Over the weekend I had a treat that I haven't had for awhile: a plump morel that my sister-in-law Katherine gathered on Sunday morning and sautéed in butter that evening. This thumb-sized delicacy was made all the more special by the fact that she had found only five mushrooms: one for everyone at the table who wanted one. Our corner of the world is full of edible treasures now. Last night we ate fresh-caught trout and a salad made with new and tender greens. Monday, dessert was a handful of sweet, Washington-grown Queen Anne cherries. We have months of fresh food to savor before the fall's bounty. After Sunday's dinner, I went with Katherine to check her beehive. Honey is harvested in the fall, and right now the bees are madly reproducing and growing their brood — and starting on the honey. As she pulled frames from the supers to check the bees' progress, and we watched the — sorry — busy bees, I thought about all of the farmers who are sowing seeds, tending young plants and animals, and yes, beginning the harvest that will continue well into the fall. I know Thanksgiving is many months away, but I'm thankful now for the treasures we are eating today. Here's to the promise of the harvest, today and in months to come.
