one of summer's little gifts...

I thought I'd share with you what summer was kind enough to bring to our doorstep. We have a patch of strawberries surrounding a little rock garden by our front door. I had to pick these scrumptious berries today before all the birds in our neighborhood heard the news that they were ripening. It only takes one bird with a big mouth beak to get the word out. Tomorrow those plants will be picked clean. Tonight, however, we'll be enjoying these on our ice cream.
