strawberry "fields"...i mean "patch"

today, jordan and I walked outside to greet the beautiful morning. still in her pink “pjs” she took off cruising to check out the latest flowers daddy had just planted. after a few minutes of total silence i peered over to see what she had gotten herself into…ahhhh…she discovered the strawberry patch. i walked over and asked, “jordan, what did you find?” she just looked up with her curious, beautiful blue eyes and pointed at the bright red, ripe berry.

i asked, “would you like to taste one?” she replied, “yes,” with a most distinct sweet sound. i bent down to show her how to pull off the berry and then handed her a plump, but small, red one. her eyes were wide as she gently took it from my palm. “mmm,” she said. we continued to search out the ripe berries for another 15 minutes or so…her fingers and lips stained a crimson red.…she simply didn’t want to stop! i explained that there weren’t any more sweet, ripe ones left. she wasn’t ready to give up and continued to scour the patch searching for more. “lady j, tomorrow is a brand new day and there will be brand new berries….i promise,” i said.
