You are looking at a big glass jar of jelly beans through a store window. You smile with jelly beans memories. The candy store has large cases of candy on display. You remember pretty fruit dangling on trees in an orchard. You may think of sweet morning melon salads with cantaloupe and honeydew melon and other fruit like berries on top. You are thankful for watermelon, seedless of course. You think of a juicy thick steak with veggies and salad. Then you see pretty cakes.
