Spring melts into summer, when the juice from sun ripened strawberries dribbles down your chin and falls unheeded to the ground.
There is still time to pick your own; we visited Ambrose on Wadmalaw. I’ll be returning, as I feel the need to put up some preserves.
*** For extra indulgence pierce a ripe strawberry with a fork and allow to sit in a chocolate martini.

Oh my YUMNESS. After a winter of eating sketchy looking, suspiciously huge berries, I’m ready for something fresh.
I thought I was the biggest strawberry fan in the world. Then my oldest son came along…
I ruined my oldest. We took him strawberry picking, last year. I didn’t know he was coming down with a bug and he bit into a green strawberry. He will not touch “berries” now. Poor kid, I hope he outgrows it.
