Me too, but less so. Strawberries...a different season, but also great. (Oops: My bad. Strawberries <strong>are </strong>in season now--and so far, they're very good.) For my wife, it’s not a matter of like–apples cause her grief. Me too, but less so. Strawberries…a different season, but also great.

I have learned to like apples okay, but there is nothing as wonderful as ripe strawberries and juicy peaches. My neighbor used to have an apricot tree that hung over into my yard. He cut it down.
