Ripe For The Picking

My Mom and Dad are visiting from New England, they'll be with us through Mother's Day.  This morning Dad and I had a date at a local strawberry farm and picked a couple of buckets between us to bring back home, they are every bit as sweet and delicious as they look. I can't imagine any better way to start a day.  The berries won't last long but this memory will; take a look at my Dad's face, his smile says it all... priceless!

Life is Good!

I just saw a wonderful post on Eating Well blog about strawberry jam. I want some fresh strawberries but we are still getting down close to freezing at night. Enjoy both the time with your folks and the berries!

When I was a teen in Oregon my friends earned Summer money picking strawberries. They did this for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. By the end of the summer their hands were bright red and their knees were really sore. I earned my money babysitting twin red headed baby boys, much easier. But I did eat the strawberries!
