"In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold"

Today was filled with ripe, red strawberries. I bought 6 pounds of them and spent the morning making freezer jam -- 2 batches and 16 pints in all (plus a few for smoothies later on and lots for snacking). The lovely red berries were a draw for everyone this morning; Charlotte kept whining at my chair for some, Isaiah sat near me and pilfered a few, and Owen, a playmate of Isaiah's, kept politely asking "please, more strawbrrys, please."
