Ripe strawberries
Mom emailed me to let me know that she was
eating the first strawberries out of her garden. Did I have any?
Nope, I replied, thinking with a touch of envy about her city garden
which concentrates the spring heat and fruits early.
Then I realized that I actually hadn't checked on the strawberries all
week. They're in the part of the garden which hasn't been weeded
yet, and I've been avoiding it because the weeds give me fits. I
wandered over, and, sure enough --- strawberries!
I have to admit that I ate two before I was able to bring one in to
Mark. Shh! Don't tell him!

Well, you do seem to be significantly colder there. You always beat us with the snow!

We had ours today. Yum! 
Significantly colder is one of the best compliments you could give me.
