Have you had any local strawberries yet?? They taste SO good. And that colour - you can only get it if they are picked ripe (therefore not shipped too far). We have a tendency to go a little crazy with seasonal stuff in our house. I think the kids were sort of glad when the asparagus season ended, although I still fondly miss it. We never get enough strawberries though. I like them as part of a savoury salad as well as for dessert, and breakfast. However you enjoy them, go grab some today and enjoy, cuz they won't last long.
Just FYI here are a couple of good sites to find all the locally grown food you could want this

I had a bar of Soap Utopia Naturals soap in my powder room, and it is kind of surprising how lovely it fills this small room with a natural scent. Not overpowering like canned air fresheners or the decal you hang from the rear-view mirror. For a small price, it really has brought me a lot of satisfaction. I notice it every time I am in there. What a perfect cottage hostess gift!
