Strawberries to eat, strawberries to sit on...

Today I made a juicy little discovery.  I had successfully grown a strawberry!  What's more, it looked pretty perfect, unlike so many of my other attempts at growing edible things.

It's late in the season here and a fresh strawberry is a real treat.  So of course I gave Miss S the honors (because she is much cuter eating a strawberry than I).

She said it was delicious!

And for those of you southern hemispherers heading into spring (and those of us holding on to the last of the summer), here is a great little free project to keep some strawberry magic alive.
