First Strawberries

I harvested my first strawberries from my garden.  Three to be exact.  Even though they were the size of my thumb, they were so sweet and flavorful.  Store bought strawberries can't even compare and would wilt in comparison.

Funny how last summer my strawberry plants were on the verge of extinction, but I was able to save a couple of plants.  This spring, with all the rain, my plants are stronger and sending out runners like crazy (making many more strawberry plants possible).

I'm excited about the prospect of more berries.  I can be patient and wait a bit longer.  These berries are one of the few highlights of the summer that I look forward to every year.

What do you look forward to every year?
