we were at my parents for the long weekend (pentecost was celebrated on sunday, and in switzerland we add a monday holiday). it was wonderful, great weather, tending the wines with my dad loving the buzz of all the bees in the flower beds around the house and where ever we went. there was a very special place in the woods, a bit of a clearing with lots of brumbles. the kids and myself, we all stood still for a moment, closed our eyes and listened...
of course fresh bouquets on the dinner table and of course fresh "thurgauer" strawberries, it's the time now to enjoy the local berries. they taste wonderful (since mid february we had strawberries in the store, from all over the world, just not from here!) though i didn't buy one berrie, they didn't even tempt me as there was absolutely no smell to them. this is very different now, i got some from the market. no resisting, as the smell of strawberries was in the air!
loving them and so do all around me, there will be more of this red treasure.
