FRESH
COMMODITIES
I am dreaming of summer, and it is barely February. I am longing for fresh produce, watermelons and picnics. I have had enough of hot house fruits and vegetables that cost enough you could assume they must be gold-plated. This next call has a summer deadline, but don’t procrastinate.
