Strawberry update

OK, so after the lack of strawberry pie was duly noted, it was off to Spooner's for more berries. This time a half-flat should suffice, right??
Safely back home, I grabbed the trusty Strawberry Pie a la JDC recipe and commenced to workin' my magic.
The pie was assembled and taken to the Yelm property to share with Mums and in honor of Rosie's 8th birthday. (We had a doggie pool party!)
The pie was so delicious that it was tough to save a piece to take home to Katie. (Good thing she made me promise her one!) With the pie polished off Thursday night, but with berries remaining, the cry went up for "More Pie!"
Friday morning, when I went to make more pie, alas there weren't enough berries left. I told Mel if he wanted more pie, he'd have to go get more berries -- but a pint would do.
Not one to let the opportunity slip by to get even more pie made, he returned home with not a pint, but another half-flat (6 pints)!
So there's another pie made, plenty of fresh berries to be eaten plain, and the hopes that I will be makin' more pie later.
As my FB status says, we're trying to see if there is such a thing as Strawberry Overload, but haven't reached it yet!
Nothing like the fine summer weather we're having and fresh strawberries for a Fourth of July weekend!
