George ~  The strawberries and cherries this year have been sooo sweet!  I hope I can get to the festival -- I have a lot of showsings scheduled in the afternoon - If not, I'll have to grab some fresh strawberries and take them to the office.

Carole  ~  These strawberries are fresh from the farms in Hollis.  I am sure that your mother would be happy to make some stawberry shortcake.  

Joan~   Ihave scheduled an extra long workout for tomorrow -- It looks like a great weekend of taste treats!

Joan, I love strawberries! I'll have to pass this on to my daughter- she's in Revere, MA for the whole summer and if she has the weekend off I know she'll be in NH visiting relatives. Thanks for the heads up!

Debbie~  I hope your daughter enjoys her summer in Revere.  Hopefully, she will get to New Hampshire as well.  There is a lot going on around here as you can see.

 

Ray~  I refrained from putting pictures of the strawberries dipped in chocolate in the post because I though you might hurt yourself trying to get them off the computer screen.  However, now that you mentioned it, here they are -- fresh organic strawberries dipped in chocolate -- ymmmm.

janeAnne:  Thanks for taking the time to read my posts.  I wish we had more going on with regard to green development that I could report on.  However, I am learning so much from your posts and I hope that others in New Hampshire will get a little greener!  Here is an array of dipped organic fruit for you.

Dan  - Rhode Island isn't all that far away -- I hope you can make the next festival.  I will keep you posted.

Duane ~  Why is it that to make thing tasts really good -- it seems to require fat, salt or sugar???  Is this some sort of trick?

Ray~  Strawvberries and some great TV -- what a perfect combination -- for me a little red wine along with some chocolate is even better --

Strawberries... one of the best things about summer!  Sounds like a neat festival, and announcements like these are a great way to keep people coming back to your blog.  Great job!

Margaret~ I have had a lot of phone calls from posts about various event in my market area.  Because I am working only with buyers, I often don't find enough time to do blogs I would like to do, so for now, I can highlight some of the fun summer events that I enjoy and that I think my clients will enjoy as well.  The strawberries are awesome this year!
