Strawberries!

Larry and I enjoyed our first locally grown strawberries of the season this week.  We hadn't made the time to pick them ourselves, but the local farmer's market had them available to us by the pint.  A few days earlier, we had eaten some large, juicy strawberries that had traveled a long distance to get to the function we attended and they were tasty.  But they paled by comparison to the rich flavor and ruby red color of the strawberries that were grown locally and transported only a few miles to our dinner table.  I'm a big advocate for locally grown and organic food.  There's a different look, a different flavor to the produce that is grown in our backyards. Just taste a locally grown strawberry and I think you might agree.
