Love strawberries! Well done, Oliver. Congrats. (Are you still planning to come to Newfoundland this summer? I recall you mentioned it to me earlier when you responded to one of my poems.)

Thanks. They are my favorite fruit. I freeze about 20 qts of them each June. In fact they should soon be ready in here in PA. Yes, I know you wrote for the contest because I commented on your Cherry poem.
