Hello Summer


Summer has arrived and so have the flowers and weeds in my gardens. Behind the lavender are rows of raspberry bushes just bursting with luscious berries. I love to pick berries of all sorts and create delicious desserts. My daughter Alita and I are going to Mazza's Berry Farm to pick strawberries for the 4th of July. Mmmm . . . strawberry shortcake, chocolate dipped strawberries, strawberry smoothies, and strawberry sauce over pancakes!

What is your favorite way to eat strawberries?

Here is one of my favorite books about strawberries, The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and THE BIG HUNGRY BEAR . Click on the book title to hear and see the story for yourself.
