Maybe it's my imagination. But, it seems as if the berries we pick from our backyard taste like heaven. Certainly fresh berries are far better than the mealy ones packed in plastic in the grocery store, but there's something about those from your own patch that's even better than farm-fresh.
It's been our best year yet for strawberries, without a doubt. Now don't get too excited. That just means that we've got enough for a serving a day. But it's a wonderful, well-fitting gift to head out to the patch in the morning, pick enough for breakfast or a lunch-snack and know that there are still some that'll come ripe for tomorrow. It's a lesson in patience, and satisfaction in small, sweet gifts.
