Yes, they gave you a good sugar high. Strawberries are in season here
but you still have to be careful. They are picked too soon to allow for
shipping and they don't ripen will once picked. The really big berries
look nice bot don't always have the flavor intensity of the smaller ones.

Best I had were from the Farmer's Market in Ct. Ripe, picked that
morning. About a 3 week season.
