Strawberry season is still going strong where I am at! I have managed to keep *most* of the critters and birds away from the berries, but they still manage to steal a few sweet snacks every few days. With what is left over for me, I am able to snack on, or bake into yummy desserts!

I have discovered scones and when they are made well....they are actually an amazing dessert. I wrote all about the fails with my scone journey, which you can read about on the "orange and vanilla bean scone" recipe. This is the SAME base recipe. So, if you try one, you'll probably like the other! Feel free to add whatever summer berries you find at the store or farmer's market. I have yet to make lemon/blueberry but that is DEFINITELY on the list soon.

Enjoy!
