Summer feels a little bit closer!

And my fridge just got a little fuller with these beauties!

Yesterday morning my friend Laurel invited me to go pick strawberries with her family at Gurosik’s Berry Plantation in North Augusta.

Hanging out with a friend, crossing off one of my 101 in 1001 list, and picking up some more strawberries to make this drink?

Yes, please, and thank you!

It couldn’t have been a more beautiful morning.  We started picking around 10:30 so while it was warm, we were able to avoid the afternoon sun.

This was the first time I’ve been to a strawberry patch in the last few years and it didn’t disappoint.

Now I’m searching for more recipes {although eating them on there own is not a bad way to enjoy them}…

What’s your favorite way to use fresh strawberries?
