Did you know that the Central San Joaquin Valley's various counties produce huge amount of fruits, vegetables, almonds and nuts? These California counties also produce a large variety of specialty crops from citrus to kiwifruit, avocado, okra, melons, pomelo and many more. Selma is the raisin capital of the world. Reedley is the fruit basket of the world. This is just a sample of the local names you will find in the book: Highway 99, Blackstone, Sanger, Madera etc. It's time to say thanks to the hands that produce them. It's time to pay a tribute to our fruit growers and the men and women who plant, nurture and harvest these great crops in all kinds of weather. This book is meant to be some kind of a consumer's response or feedback.

A Book Good For All Seasons: Get back To Your Senses
In The Long Lost Garden of Eden, you will be able to read about "Christmas In The Old House, The Leaves Of Autumn, The Recalcitrant Bees Of The Blooming Trees" etc. Renowned author Diane Ackerman (one of my favorite writers) best describes the ideas hidden behind each season. This is what she writes about Fall: "We've always called the season fall from the Old English faellan, to fall down, which leads back through time to the Indo-European, phol, to fall. The word hasn't really changed since the first of our kind needed a name for its metamorphosis. Then there is that other fall, the one in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve concealed their nakedness with fig leaves, remember? Leaves have always hidden our awkward secrets. Fall is the time when leaves fall from the trees, just as spring is when flowers spring up, summer is when we simmer, and winter is when we whine from the cold."
