Strawberry shortcake for breakfast. Wow!

My view as I walk down to the Camp Lodge.

This morning I started my day by walking down to the camp lodge from my house. I have to get used to walking that hill. Not so bad going down. Really rough coming up. By the end of the summer, I'm more in shape.

Anyway, I glanced over to the athletic field and sighed. What a peaceful setting! What more could I want? The kids are back. There's a lovely morning stillness as the day begins, filled with expectancy for the day.

When I got down to the lodge, I laughed because everything was a tad behind. Getting the horses agreeable about morning routines doesn't always work without a hitch (pardon my pun) and making things bake on time isn't always possible on the first day of camp.

I told you life at Sprucelands was filled with surprises!

Well, let me tell you that I was quite happy about the delay when I took a look at the breakfast buffet and discovered one of the highlights was strawberry shortcake. Fruit nut that I am, I set aside the yogurt and cereal, toast, peaches and jams for that shortcake.

How many times have I started a new season with such a delectable treat? The strawberries were mouth watering and the biscuits were big, tender and warm from the oven. It was worth the wait.

My guess is that after you read this, you'll want to go pick strawberries and make shortcake for supper...or maybe an afternoon snack!! I sound like an advertisement, don't I? Anyway, try something new. Change up your schedule and do something different! We did.

Comments? Why not?
