That is a lovely memory, thanks for sharing.
I, too, remember picking these as a child and as an adult, I still love them. They light up the fields.
Nice photo's too.

"They light up the fields."

Somehow I love them best wild and half covered up by the mixed canopy in an old fence row. Now where shall i find and old wild fence row on this day and time? Life was at its best when in one hand there was a wild strawberry and the other a fist full of daisies. Maybe sheep were eyeing the daisies and inching in for the robbery. Their noses were red with wild berry juice too.

Nice article...can lead one anywhere down memories lane.

LOL at the image of a sheep inching forward to rob you of your daisy bouquet...
