First fruit of the year and it's quit early but that is fine by me. It's like spring/summer time here in Florida almost all year long.

That looks like something that would last for about oneandahalf seconds here.  Lovely berry.

MMmmmm, the thought of fresh strawberries is making my mouth water newgrow!
I won't be picking berries here until the end of June.

I went out and pick that strawberry today and it was better than the ones I have in the fridge that I bought at the store. I savored that entire bite. Sorry I didn't have enough to share
