Just want to note that this post was supposed to go out prior to the previous one – oops!

An inauspicious day blossomed into loveliness, as we picked the glowing red ruby fruit under a refreshingly cloudy sky.   Boxes of fresh strawberries were picked, each one a treasure to be hunted for and celebrated.

Of course someone had to check that they were all tasty.  I mean it’s a tough job…

Despite the tell tale signs of juice around the mouths we still managed a great haul of perfect, red berries.  Each one fresh and hand picked and on a farm less than 10 minutes from our new house.  The only thing better than the fabulous berries was the fabulous company.  A blissful day spent with friends, isn’t that what summer is all about?

Here’s hoping for many more days like this all summer long.
