Strawberries

With strawberries, never enough for me: drippy hands, splattered ceiling, slushy the floor. Fido, my best friend, just slid out the door. Perhaps, a strawberry bush, why not a strawberry tree? -- Fido wagged, nay!~ to a Strawberry Flea.

Such a treat. When we were younger, my wife use to do all of that -- now we are forced to rely more on our local farmer's market, but most of the folks selling there, follow old-school recipes. Thank you, my friend. Have a blessed weekend.
