...January Strawberries...

...we heard the chatter about town...'psssst...the Strawberry Lady is here'...and being the newbies here we didn't know what that meant...but apparently there is a lady (the Strawberry Lady) who goes to Florida in January and hand picks a bunch of strawberries and brings them here to sell them...it seemed all the locals knew about her and her strawberries...

...so...a super nice friend of ours offered to get us a flat of Strawberry Lady strawberries...

...so I spent an evening getting those sweet berries ready to go into our tummies...
...they had the biggest greenest tops I've ever seen on strawberries...
...and the berries were gorgeous...I didn't thow out a single one...that just amazed me...they were all perfect...
...so I popped on one of my new bowl covers...
...and left a spoon on top for people to dig in anytime...
...maybe to top some ice cream...yummmm...
...all that was left...

...do you like strawberries?...

~Have a lovely day!

  4. I just love strawberries. Last summer our strawberry harvest was affected by the rainy summer and they were just not good.

    Maybe next year.
