Fair Meadow Place: Strawberry Hill

June 29, 2017

In Ontario, locally grown strawberries are pretty much over by the end of June. If it is not too hot they will sometimes last until early July.

Strawberry season is very short.

They look yummy. There was too much rain and not enough sun. Although they look good they are not very sweet.

I'll be forced to eat them with ice cream.

I have set the table in the breakfast nook.

The title of this blog, "Strawberry Hill", is really a reference to the dishes of the same name. They are produced by Wedgewood.

The two-tiered tray is filled with dishes, a pair of roosters, napkins, and a tea caddy.

The Red Roosters on the table contain strawberry jam all ready to spread onto toast.

The dinner plate and bread and butter plate are Strawberry Hill.

See how we folded our napkins.

Find some locally grown strawberries while you can. They will soon be gone until next year.
