Gathering Strawberries




I'm not even kidding you,dear ones. I am gathering strawberries from my garden today. Barefoot. Even had to get out the fan for Buddy. The weatherman did say we were in for a "cooling trend" though, it's only going to get to 77 degrees tomorrow. Bummer. Made some sun tea today too.O.K. I won't go on. This has been nice, but the truth is...a snowy quiet winters day wouldn't be bad either. But I know I better be careful. Things can change here pretty fast.So for now, I'll enjoy the berry picking. Maybe I just should have kept it to myself.I don't know. Dessert tonight...in case you were wondering...is strawberry shortcake with whipped cream. There is plenty.

  4. Well, it is a good bit cooler than that in the San Francisco area but it's been about 60 degrees during the day. Enjoy that strawberry short cake. Do they still hold the Farmer's Market during the winter months?

  18. I was wondering where the strawberries were growing. I bought some "Farmer's Market" strawberries in the grocery store the other day...

    I love your description of the lupines and the air smelling like bubble gum. LOVELY!
