Strawberry Days

At the Honey House we are having a bumper crop of strawberries this year! It must be the cooler weather and all the rain we've been having. They are big, red and delicious!

We have enjoyed eating them plain, in a bowl with sugar or whipped topping, or as part of strawberry shortcake. Yummy!

Speaking of strawberries, our town just finished holding it's annual festival called "Strawberry Days". We had a good time attending some of the activities and I have some pictures and stories to post about. It was fun, but I'm actually glad it's over. Now I don't have to listen to the rodeo announcer from inside my house each evening (and I live quite a ways from the fairgrounds!).

This week it is finally supposed to be gorgeous and sunny, which makes me SO happy! Wahoo!

  2. Yummy! I'll enjoy yours vicariously. I took my kids strawberry picking and our's were teeny, tiny little pitiful things. Maybe because we had an unusually dry spring. UGH!
