Seems that since we got done with school we have been "running" nonstop! Yesterday we went to some of the yard sales that were in town for this weekend's "city wide" yard sale event. Do you remember when most yard sales were just on Saturdays? Then there were those who started up on Fridays. You really had to go to those on Friday, because by Saturday those good ones would be well picked over. Now...Thursday is the day to go. I honestly can't imagine having a yard sale for three whole days. I couldn't believe how many there were yesterday. Anyway...at the last yard sale we went to I was able to snag this gorgeous wood picture frame. I love the gold on it, and the heart design around the edge is beautiful. It is roughly 22" x 26". It was only $1. Hooray!
Then...when it was the hottest time of the day it seemed...we went off to the strawberry farm to pick strawberries. It sure was hot! But with the help of the kids we did it in good time then came home for a big dish of yummy berries--our reward for all our hard work.
I've made two batches of strawberry jam and a two-crust pie so far. The pie turned out well. Would you like the recipe? Here it is:
2-9" unbaked pie crusts
3/4 cups white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 TBSP corn starch
4+ cups sliced fresh strawberries
Cook in 425 degree oven for about 35-40 minutes.

What a great deal on the pretty frame -- frames are so expensive. And I love your photo of the strawberries, the perfect plate to show them at their best.
