Lovely quotes:
“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” ~ Mary Oliver

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~ Dalai Lama

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’ is to say, ‘I don’t want to’.” ~ Lao Tzu

Wash berries, cut off tops, place in glass bowl, sprinkle with sugar & balsamic vinegar and toss gently. Store covered in fridge a few hours or overnight.

   I had some strawberries at a lunch last week–they were served with a dressing that was very similar. So delish!

   Now I am off to shop. Must have some strawberries, now. Don’t know why, just a sudden overwhelming urge!

   I just bought a large package of strawberries. Something about spring sunshine made me do it.

    Hmmm … I usually eat my strawberries ’straight after washing’ w/o anything added … but perhaps I’ll give your recipe a try.
    Hugs and blessings,

    Mmm, I love fresh strawberries. We’ve been marinating them in red wine instead of the balsamic. Yummy on ice cream!
