The other day The Ranting Wife looked over to me with a slightly embarrassed look on her face. She started, “I think I want to do something a little weird”.
I was instantly intrigued.
Strawberry picking. She wanted to go strawberry picking. Because our boys are older, she thought it might be a little strange for a couple of adults to go picking. Not weird at all and not where I thought she was headed!
Cranberry-Pear Salad
Delicious summer salad.
No strawberries here, but a lot of this needed to be picked never the less.
A quick dressing.
You’ll love it.
