June 14th is National Strawberry Shortcake Day. Is there a better summer treat than fresh strawberries served over a shortcake biscuit with whipped cream or ice cream. I personally like ice cream because it melts and soaks into the biscuit. Yum!
We can get fresh strawberries any time of year now, but when I was younger strawberries appeared only in the summer. I remember my grandparents' garden. They had strawberry plants in abundance, and my grandmother made strawberry jam. But the best strawberries served from their garden were in strawberry shortcake.
This talk of strawberry shortcake definitely brings summer to mind. These are some of my books that are set in summer.
