Strawberries

I love strawberries and this year we have a bumper crop. The ones from the lower field are particularly sweet and they will  only produce a little while longer. The ones from the upper garden plot are ever bearing so we'll have them all summer and fall. They are good but not as good as the others. However, the many baskets we bring up daily are beginning to wear heavy on me when I have editing to do. I want to freeze and preserve as many berries as I can. We also like to share our bounty, but even with all that there are a lot of berries to care for. I wish I was motivated to edit when the snow is on the ground instead of when the berries are on the plants. The snow and cold seem to slow down my brain as well as make movement off the hill impossible. Spring energizes me but not enough to get everything I want to do done.
