Ms. Kim Kampf carries on a long tradition: for many, many years, School Bus Drivers have been taking "their kids" to Dairy Creme for an end-of-the-year treat!
These students were just leaving - heading back to their bus and then back to school for almost the last time - this year!

Do you remember when I posted this photo of Wild Strawberries back on May 18th and said I hoped I'd remember to go back in June? I did! They're ready! And they're a real treat!
**************
Wild strawberries were mentioned in early Greek and Roman writings. The “Alpine berries,” as they were called, were first cultivated in Europe in the Middle Ages. When settlers arrived in North America, they found strawberries (Fragaria vesca) growing wild here, and they saw larger strawberries being cultivated by the Native Americans.Strawberries are said to be “cooling.” Herbalist Gerard declared that the berries “quench thirst, cooleth heate of the stomicke and inflammation of the liver.” Strawberries are also reputed to calm the nerves, and aid in bowel disorders (even ridding the intestines of worms). Crushed berries soothe sunburn, and supposedly whiten the complexion and make freckles disappear.
Thomas Tusser advised in his 1573 book Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry, “[Strawberries] wel chosen and picked, proove excellent good.”

Can anyone tell me the "real" name of this rock formation? They're fairly uncommon. They look like fossilized turtles - but aren't, really. I don't know what else to call them! (Seems to me it starts with a "s", but ....... )
