Csrol,
Strawberries, yummy! Love them. They are just about done in our area but they have been especially good this year. Enjoy the festival.
Cynthia- I have never tasted anything as good sa fresh off the field strawberries!
Hi Carol, I hope that the Strawberry Festival was delicious. One of my favorite times of year - I love strawberries - they are delicious - and so good for you also.
My kids would have LOVED this event! They love strawberries so much that I should have invested in a strawberry field! hahahaha So this year, when planting our vegetable and fruit garden, I planted quite a few strawberries. They go out and look for the buds to bloom every single day, waiting for the strawberries to grow. I sooooooo hope they grow! Otherwise, I'm gonna be in BIG trouble! hahahahah
