Strawberry Pickin'

Since today was a bit challenging to me in many ways, I'm throwing it back to this day, April 17, in 2014. 
On a visit to Hydroeats Farms in Groveland, Florida with my oldest daughter and her children, we learned about hydroponic farming and picked a whole bunch of strawberries. I have longed believed that Florida has the world's sweetest berries.
This was a portion of our haul. It was quite a yummy day.

Are Wild Strawberries really wild?
Will they scratch an adult, will they snap at a child?
Should you pet them, or let them run free where they roam?
Could they ever relax in a steam heated home?
Can they be trained to not growl at the guests?
Will a litterbox work or would they leave a mess?
Can we make them a Cowberry, herding the cows,
Or maybe a Muleberry pulling the plows,
Or maybe a Huntberry chasing the grouse,
Or maybe a Watchberry guarding the house,
And though they may curl up at your feet oh so sweetly,
Can you ever feel that you trust them completely?
Or should we make a pet out of something less scary,
Like the Domestic Prune, or the Imported Cherry,
Anyhow, you’ve been warned and I will not be blamed
If your Wild Strawberry cannot be tamed.

~ Shel Silverstein, Wild Strawberries
