This week we also had TONS of people talking about strawberries and including them in their recipes. It was definitely the theme of the week. But, how could I pick a favorite post featuring strawberries – they were all wonderful. So, I’ll just direct you to go check out all of them:
Putting up Strawberry's: Granny's Way
Homemade Ice Cream... the bad and THE GOOD
and this adorable picture also featuring strawberry's...
Today, as I was reading A Light in the Attic to Thaddeus I came across this little poem, so in honor of this week’s unintentional Strawberry theme I thought I’d share it:
“Are Wild Strawberries really wild? Will they scratch an adult, will they snap at a child? Should you pet them, or let them run free where they roam? Could they ever relax in a steam-heated home? Can they be trained to not growl at the guests? Will a litterbox work or would they leave a mess? Can we make them a Cowberry, herding the cows, Or maybe a Muleberry pulling the plows, Or maybe a Huntberry chasing the grouse, Or maybe a Watchberry guarding the house, And though they may curl up at your feet oh so sweetly, Can you ever feel that you trust them completely? Or should we make a pet out of something less scary, Like the Domestic Prune or the Imported Cherry, Anyhow, you’ve been warned and I will not be blamed If your Wild Strawberry cannot be tamed."
Rejoicing in the journey- Beth Stedman
