Scrumptious Strawberries

the Strawberry King (king of berry picking that is, just wish I could get him to eat a few while he's at it!)

Happy Memorial Day!

Sweet sticky smell of strawberries with the sun shining and a cool breeze, we could not have asked for a better day for our berry picking adventure.

The fruits of our labor . . . aren't they just lovely!?!

Scrumpdiddyumptious . . . strawberry muffins for dessert, yum!
