Farm Stand
One of the things I love about where we live is that we have a farm stand literally down the road from us. It's just this barren stretch of dirt on the side of the road, and they set up a little canopy and put out their produce to sell. It is there almost every evening, and pretty much all day on the weekends. It is so easy and convenient to just stop by and get some fresh strawberries or peaches depending on what's in season. And their fruit is amazing. It's like having a farmers market in your backyard all the time. Their strawberries are so sweet, they taste like the kind that you pick from your own berry patch. I love it! Most recently we got some peaches and strawberries.
My favorite way to eat strawberries and peaches is cut up into chunks with milk poured over the top. When I get strawberries from the store, I usually have to sprinkle some sugar over the top, but not with these.
Lucas just likes to eat them plain.
He has had strawberries with every meal for the whole last week. We just ran out this morning, though, so it looks like it's time to get some more.

That is one of the things that I do NOT like about where we live. Nothing grows here and the farmers markets have more kokopelli metal art than tomatoes or strawberries.
Those strawberries look really good. I'm jealous of your fruit stand. We get a lot of people selling corn on the roadside around here.
Mmm... I'm so jealous! Those look amazing and you like to eat fruit just like me--with milk. :) We must be best friends or something.
