Summer is definitely here! I managed to get out to Spooner’s Strawberries and score a flat before they were sold out for the day. It took a few days to get out there early enough to not drive up to the “Sold out. More tomorrow” sign that always makes my heart droop a bit. For those who don’t live here and can’t experience the sweet, juicy goodness for themselves, I’ve included a picture so you all can drool over them. These berries are locally grown and the best strawberries you might ever taste. Their arrival usually sends the Olympia area into a frenzy to buy, eat and store up as many as we can before the season is over all too soon. Definitely a mark of summer here in South Sound.
Why the fork, you ask? Well I wouldn’t want to get my keyboard all sticky, would I?
Now to settle in to read some more of George Vancouver’s descriptions of his exploration of the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound – fascinating stuff! But more about that later…
