Fresh fruit in the middle of winter

I love having a big bowl of fresh fruit around the house. This bowl of fruit looks so colorful to me. I am thankful that I can have this bounty here any time of year. I remember either my Mom or my Dad telling the story of having an orange at Christmas time. There wasn't the mass transportation of fresh fruit available before refrigeration made it so easy. We take for granted these wonderful blessings that are available to us now. I am thankful for fresh fruit even if it makes my 'carbon footprint' a little big.
