Today we had a wonderful Mother's Day celebration. Fresh ground coffee and Bodo's Bagels for breakfast. And then we were off to pick strawberries! The sister orchard of our favorite place Carter Mountain Orchard, is called Chiles Peach Orchard in Crozet, Virginia (about 30 minutes from our house). What a perfect day .. we arrived early and filled a big box. That became part of the evening menu. After a quick stop at Whole Foods for fresh tomatoes, garlic and a roasted tomato foccacia to bring home for lunch we settled in for the day.

Dinner was wonderful grilled rib-eye steaks, Bill's famous shrimp scampi and fresh picked strawberries with whipped cream for dessert. It was a wonderful day!
