Strawberry season is my favorite time of year!
It has been three or four weeks since we ate the last of the summer's strawberries. It was a wonderful strawberry season. The weather this spring was great for berries and they produced well. For several years we have had strawberries in our garden. Last year we built a new box specifically for strawberries. We got them in late and they did not do well last year.
However, this year, they were in the right place at the right time. This year is the first year we have not gone someplace to pick strawberries. We picked all we needed from our own strawberry box.
For several weeks we ate strawberries with our ice cream,
strawberries and cream, strawberries in our cereal, and several versions
of strawberry delight. It is a concoction of cake, cream cheese, whipped cream and of course, lots of strawberries.

| Ready for making Jam! |
We also made and canned over 20 pints of jam. If we don't give to many of them away, we will have a nice reminder of my favorite season all winter long. Something to enjoy while we wait for strawberry season to return again.
The consolation is the blueberries are now ripe.
Life is good.
