This was a much loved book when I was a wee one. Our family copy was torn and missing the cover the last time I saw it, I'm not even sure if it's around anymore...
We had our own version of the story going on this morning on the porch. Our little strawberry plant -- which had a pretty rough start and looked very sad and shrivelly for a very long time -- is in bloom and giving us a few tiny berries!
Those little, tiny berries are the best. So sweet, they taste the way a strawberry is meant to taste. Once you've had one of these true little gems, you can never go back to the plumped-out, flavorless, shipped-all-the-way-across-the-country berries. No sir. Even if it means eating just two or three, instead of a whole pound. Its worth it.
Its even more worth it when you've got the sweet-cheekiest babe to share your berry with.
