Strawberry Fields Forever....

I know!  What can I say.....a dog dressed like a strawberry.....seriously? 








Making Strawberry jam


Eight jars of jam


Three of my homegrown berries


My strawberry pot

This year the Hartselle Strawberry Festival actually had strawberries.  Don't laugh....a couple of years ago we went and there were no strawberries in sight.  I went with the intent not to buy any strawberries but when all those baskets of pretty berries where staring at me, I had to buy a basket.  They were just too pretty.  That meant I had to go home and make strawberry jam because Chuck doesn't like strawberries and I couldn't eat all of those berries before they went bad.  Besides that, they have a lot of natural sugar in them.  That means I can only eat a couple at a time.  I ended up with eight jars of jam to share with my friends.  Another fun part of Spring/Summer up here.
