Strawberries, WOW!

    






     Well I know most of you have already picked your strawberries and they are in jars of jam in your pantry or frozen in your freezer waiting to be placed on shortcakes in January or strawberry daiquiris soon, but not here in Seeley Lake, Montana.  I have  just started to pick and man do I have strawberries.  They are huge and so delicious.  I have picked three days and have over 2  gallons already.  Bob wants a strawberry rhubarb pie.   I want strawberry crepes and some yummy oatmeal strawberry cookies.  The problem is I am trying not to eat sugar so ...
     I think strawberries are my favorite fruit along with huckleberries.  I also love blackcap raspberries but I can't find them in Montana.  I  remember picking black raspberries in Ringses Woods or along the railroad as a kid and mom baking me a black raspberry pie.  I would love to have a piece of that pie right now.

      Alright back to the strawberries.  I have a slug problem.  Every year I put out slug saloons.  They love to sit around drinking beer and being a little sluggish in my slug saloons but luckily for me they drown themselves while in there alcohol stupor. After about a week of partying and drinking themselves dead I no longer have a slug problem.  YeeHaa!!  I love strawberries!!
