strawberry fields forever

I love this time of year.....the scent of sweet strawberries in the air!! Each time we leave our house, the girls remark about the delicious smell and ask if we can stop at the strawberry stand. Yesterday we did- yummy!! Strawberry juice was dripping down their arms!

This morning I am cutting up watermelon, making some potato salad (the store bought just doesn't compare to homemade, don't you think?) and some Magnolia cupcakes (with patriotic sprinkles, of course!) for the picnic we're going to today. Happy 4th!! I hope you all have a fun and safe Independence Day!

(Note: Today I will miss the Rib Burn-Off in Akron- yummy food and festival, followed by the Symphony Orchestra playing patriotic songs, the whole city flooding into downtown for the giant firework show, sitting in the middle of the highway watching them explode overhead while making friends with random strangers who pass by, and joining the chorus of oooohs and ahhhhhs)
