strawberry

Well if y'all didn't get the memo, May is national strawberry month. DUH.

And I have been very aware lately. Everyday so far this month a strawberry has made a significant appearance.

Jake made the best pie I've ever had in my life the other day, and of course, it was a strawberry pie. It was amazing.

I saw Paul Baribeau play a show the other night and got some new music from him. and he sings a song called strawberry which has some of the most brilliantly written lyrics.
Here they are...

To say that you are cute,
Would be like saying that a strawberry is sweet,
'Cause a strawberry has secret flavors that are sharp, and tart, and red, and deep,
And i would love to find you growing wild out by the woods,
i would make a basket with the front of my t-shirt,
and take home as many of you as I could,
And to say that you are pretty,
Would be like saying that the ocean is blue,
Cause the ocean is full of all kinds of colors,
and I see all kinds of things when I look at you,
and I want to explore you
With my tenni shoes off
Standing ankle deep in a tide pool,
with my khaki pants rolled up,
and to say that you are funny would be like saying that the night sky is black,
Cause the night sky is filled with stars and comets and planets that no one has seen yet,
And i want to look at you,
Lying down on my front lawn,
I'll try to take you all in at once, but you just go on and on and on


there you go, amazing right?

Also, Strawberries are the food of love apparently which is also very significant to me in a special way this month.

AND I saw a pug today that came through the drive through at my work (in it's owners car) and it was wearing a dress with strawberries all over it! honestly those things are everywhere I turn.

I love May and I love strawberries.
