Jim's Quote of the Day:
"There is nothing which doth more agreeably concern the Senses, than
in the depth of Winter to behold the Fruits so fair, and so good, yea better,
than when you first did gather them.......You will taste your fruit with infinite
more gust and contentment, than in the Summer itself, when their great abundance,
and variety, rather cloy you than become agreeable. For this reason therefore
it is, that we essay to teach you the most expedite, and certain means how
to conserve them all the WInter, even so long, as till the New shall incite
you to quit the Old." - John Evelyn, The French Gardiner, London
1675
