Following the stealthy advancement of a bountiful crisp Michigan crop of asparagus fingers,
June quietly snuck in on little strawberry feet.
And the local bounty - far superior to any crop bred to ship cross country – will be appearing for a few short weeks at local farm markets.
Will there be strawberry freezer jam this year? Probably not around here as even hulling berries seems an extraordinary effort.
Perhaps a short cake or two however, extra whipped cream mandatory.
So you keep doing what you do best little red dudes,
and we’ll keep doing what we do. Together somehow we’ll make the world a little better for it.
Oh, and yes, I do have thoughts on the new trendoid variety known as the so-called “white” strawberry. But they tend to run along the same lines as other cultural appropriation issues. Just. Don’t. Do. It. It’s stupid.
Ditto the Black Face Strawberry. It’s not real. It’s stupid.
