Laurels and Strawberries
Cherish Yesterday
Dream Tomorrow
Live Today
Southern New Jersey has an incredible number of Laurels that are in full bloom right now. On our property alone we have somewhere around seventy Laurels that are in full boom. It is a sight to behold and I wanted to share it with you. Here are the ones that frame our Japanese style garden.
Yesterday we went to a local garden center to buy fresh produce, for the Neighborhood Memorial Day Party. While I was there, I bought some Big, Fresh, Juicy New Jersey Strawberries for my Strawberry loving friends.....enjoy.....I hope I bought enough.

OMG-Strawberries! I'll be right over :-)
Good!!! Thanks for coming :) I have plenty and if not the farm is close by.
I tried to make a comment on your blog yesterday....either my broadband or yours was not co-operating LOL I will try again soon.
Those are laurels? I thought they were hydrangea until I saw the lower picture. I grow terrific strawberries at home. At least the rabbits seem to like them.
Beautiful pictures...the strawberries look amazing! Have a great day.

Doug: The Hydrangea will be out in a couple of weeks....the Laurels are amazing. I hear the California berries are very good this year.
Joel: Thank you, Ken and I love to take pictures, there is so much fodder here for greart ones......the strawberries are juicy and so sweet.
Gimme gimme.
I loooovvveeee strawberries! That picture almost makes me bite right into my screen. Thank goodness I will go to germany next month and eat as much as I wnat of those! Here they taste like tomatoes or any other fruit. They get picked so early and send when they are still green...the taste is not that good.
Thank you for the picture!
And laurels are a sign for poetry. Milton once wrote: "yet once more oh ye Laurels..." adressing the spirits of poetry. That is why I thought the first three lines were so fitting!
Hi Mo'a, Minka said you're having trouble commenting at the the Hen House. Please let me know if this is still true Astin Min!
OOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! How beautiful it all is! We just bought some whipped cream so I'll bring it on over! Oooooweeeeee! Let's have a strawberry party fo sho!
I think you must live in paradise! I don't think we have laurels out here... although I've often heard that phrase "Don't rest on your laurels"... They are lovely!
And man alive, those strawberries - yummy. Bring out a little cream and whip up some Pönnukökur - delicious.
beautiful and... yum!! (we actually enjoyed fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries yesterday... but i'm quite certain none were as scrumptious as these!)
i would lovelovelove to see more pictures of your garden... it looks spectacular! : D
Minka: I am so impressed with you quoting Milton....you are one snidug girl and no kjani.

Kyahgirl: I was able to get through....odly enough I tried to reply here on my own blog and could not get the message through....I think the Gods think I am too kocky :)
MizBohemia: Good idea....in Iceland it is not desert unless there is Whipped Cream....so come on over...I must get more berries the party is getting big :)
Terry: Yes, to me it is Paradise....I will not rest on my
Laurels.....to keep Paradise, Paradise is much work.
You are right we must have Ponnukokur.....I will go and make some, to go with the berries and MizBohemia's whipped cream.....this will be a great party :)
Neva: I am sure your berries were good....where they from NJ or CA?
I think you just opened Pandora's Box....now I will have an excuse to post more of our garden photos ^~^
*snicker* what kind of of cockamamie word is kocky.....I must be full of myself making up a word like that *snicker* ROFLOL
If you would have kept quiet we all might have thought it was a "foreign" word... ha ha ha
*smile* Terry you know how Icelanders are....we are always honest and will point mistakes made by others and on occasion our own :)
Yes, you certainly are honest and to the point *Grins* That is a great quality to own.
