Summer in a colander.

Is there anything that embodies the word "summer" more than going strawberry picking on a hot day ?

Bent over, our backs warmed by the sun, our fingers feather their way through the green leaves,

seeking out the juiciest, reddest berries in the patch.

It's not just about the harvesting.

It's a time of building memories with family,

 or with friends.

and the best part of all is that sampling is allowed.

I do lots of sampling.

It's a wonderful experience -- like being a child again.
