Wild strawberry in meadow

On this morning after a gentle full moon rain fell to the music of distant thunder a treat from the earth appeared:
The first wild strawberry of the season.
Sweet. Moist. Fresh!
A quick walkabout revealed dozens more about to ripen. This time next week it will be a breakfast of pancakes made from scratch, enhanced with the bounty of nature from a meadow that remains wild.
And some still wonder why I walk my woods and meadows at dawn most every day. |
I haven't had a real, wild strawberry for about twenty years! Looks so good. How about freezing a strawberry pancake (or muffin?) for me until the fall?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan. I'll ice some away for your trip to the USA
