Tis The Season For Strawberries

One thing is for certain, the season is fleeting. It is almost July. Strawberries abound, it is their time. Living in the northwest with seasonal produce aplenty, I cringe when I thought the california berries I used to buy where it---harvested way before they are ripened so it could be shipped for later (and often tasteless) consumption. Breaking my no fruit diet to go with the ebb and flow of nature, I have enjoyed the wondrous, juicy, fresh varities of strawberries: Hoods, Albions, Tillamooks. Point to living in the moment.
