Peaches. They feel so warm and cozy to me. Some people are really into watermelons, or cherries, or blueberries during the summer months - for me, it's all about peaches. I especially like getting peaches from farmers markets—I feel like they taste so much better and have a much nicer texture. Though, really - I would buy all my produce direct from farmers if I could.
