ONE MUST ASK…


“One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste.”

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe~

  1. I think there is some truth to this. Back when I was a child, everything seemed brighter, tastier, and more intense.

  2. Even as an adult both of them still taste delicious to me.

    1. I remember eating strawberries as a child, which was a short season. It seemed to me that they tasted so much sweeter than the ones we buy now. I really should go to the places where we can pick our own right off the vine :)

  3. Children and birds enjoy what is available and don't complain . . . well, birds don't, anyway. 😉

  4. I don't know what kind of answer a bird would give, but I know a child's answer will be more interesting than an adults would be.

  7. There is some truth to that. We have wild strawberries in the backyard, so add chipmunks to the list!

  8. A child's answer may surprise us they are undeniably honest about food. Of my own three grands two would say they love them and one would not. My wren friends would surely love both. Darling rendition Denise.
