spring strawberries

there is not much better than fresh strawberries, right off the vine. or fresh strawberries with yogurt and granola. or fresh strawberries and ice cream.
we had a wonderful day morning at a farm with friends, picking berries, feeding chickens, tasting herbs that were growing all over the place, and (of course) playing an episode of "mama-baby"









we ended up making strawberry jam (my first go at jam) and found this recipe to be really easy and so naturally sweet! the next morning we intended to have strawberry parfaits for breakfast, but we had used up all the strawberries in jam making. blueberry parfaits were excellent as well, especially with a fresh batch of our favorite granola!
