On Friday S. came home from work and spent some time in the garage measuring our kayaks in anticipation of buying Yakima racks for the Saab. When he came in from the back yard, he looked perplexed. He asked if I thought that the strawberry plants would produce better if they were staked up, only to realize as the words left his mouth that I had a colander full of ripe berries in the sink, just for him.
