Summer is upon us. These colors remind me of the sun and the fruit I eat I. The summer- strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, oranges. Such warm feelings. Especially with strawberries. My grandparents would grow them in their gardens some summers and we would go out for the day to visit with them and pick strawberries. We would sit on the ground and pick as many strawberries as we could find. Some days I remember getting buckets and buckets full. We would scream when we saw spiders and delight when we found ladybugs. It was hard work but somehow I remember loving it-probably because of all the strawberries that didn’t make it in to the buckets but went to my belly in stead 😉 but looking back I also truly appreciate the time I got to spend with my grandparents. I’m so grateful to have these memories of my grandparents. I’m so lucky to still have 3 out of my 4 grandparents still living. But one day I’ll only have these memories to look back on.
