Today I picked the very first strawberries from the strawberry patch in our yard.

It’s incredible what an amazing taste you get from fruit ripened in the sun (and not in the fruit truck on it’s way to the store). These little beauties were juicy and sweet.

Strawberries grow well in Colorado. This is the first time I’m growing them, it’s easy so far — and I’m totally enthused to have fresh berries in the yard.
