Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Good morning.  Summer is my favorite food season. I not only love to grow my own fruits and veggies but I love to eat them as well.  Really I love playing in the dirt, but actually reaping what you sow is pretty awesome!  Do you garden?  

Today I am getting strawberries from one of my neighbors. Mine aren't quite ripe yet and I surely won't have the quantity they have.  Now to decide how to eat them.  I think I'll cook some down to make a fresh fruit spread for breakfast bagels.  Then eat some on on my salad greens, and of course dessert is a must.  What is your favorite strawberry recipe?  

And let us not forget to just have some strawberries with our coffee or afternoon tea :)  

Today I am hopping along with the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  This is my second year participating.  So fun! I hope you get a chance to create something for the hop or just hop along for loads of inspiration.  


I used these cute little to go coffee cups to send a note to a girl friend.
I love when I make a card and have a reason to drop it in the mail.  



And I thought I would offer up a little prize for a random comment either here or on Instagram.  Just answer one of the summer questions above in the comments.  
Be sure to leave a way to contact you if you win.  

My first prize is this stamp set from The Cat's Pajama's.  



And for additional 25 comments I'll add another prize!
