Sweet Strawberries














We decided today that we wanted to plant some strawberries and so headed off on a little mission to the nursery at Samford.  After stopping off for a play in the playground and buttermilk pancakes we got down to the very serious business of picking out strawberry seedlings.  Freya talked to them.  She earnestly asked which of them would have the sweetest strawberries.  But alas she declared that they were not talking back!  So we asked the very helpful owner of the nursery instead.   When we got home to plant them it was clear that Eli's interest lay squarely with helping to fill the soil whilst Freya could not wait until we were finished so that she could water them in.   I love how well they worked together.  Eli's little hand on Freya's shoulder makes me melt a little!
