ECF Friday: The Strawberry Edition
This was our first strawberry off of one of the everbearing strawberries. There were a few early on in the season right after we planted them, but they got nabbed by something. I’m always amazed by how much better the locally grown ones taste and how they are red throughout rather than just on the outside. DH and I have been splitting the berries as they become ripe. I think we’ll have a quiet time here for a bit, but there are more set and working towards ripening.
It is to be a real scorcher this weekend. Thankfully, the forecasted lows have been higher than reality and we’ve been able to get the house down to about 65 degrees overnight so we aren’t exceeding about 77 or 78 in the house (and that was with canning both days). We aren’t reaching those temps until it is very nearly cool enough to open up and turn the fans on again so the 90+ degrees have been bearable. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to say the same for the nearly 100 degrees, but we’ll see! Stay cool and have a good weekend!
ETA: After hitting “publish” I went to stretch and caused a terrible spasm in my upper back on the side that usually doesn’t have any problems. Trying to wash my hair or get dressed is pure agony, calling forth tears. I’m laying flat on a heating pad and can read blogs, but typing is rather uncomfortable, so please excuse my lack of commenting at the moment or replying to comments left here.
