Summer has officially started in Texas, everyone is ready to hit the pool, get some sun, and enjoy the warm weather.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy the summer season is by slathering on some sunscreen so my pale redhead skin doesn’t burn, gathering some friends, and having a pool day. To make it really perfect, you have to have some fresh, in season, fruits and veggies on hand.
