Strawberry Pie

Making this pie brought back memories of my first home in Napa.   It was a small two bedroom built in the 40's.  There was an arch that divided the living room from the dinning room. Today you might describe it as somewhat of an open plan.  The area we lived in was called Alta Heights and we loved it.  Our lot was not wide but it was long so we had a wonderful backyard with a slope in the very back. We built raised garden beds made out of railroad ties.  One of the boxes was a strawberry patch, which produced berries in the spring and summer.  It seemed as if I picked a bowl of berries every day.
Our second summer in the house Jennifer was almost 1 year old and walking.  I went out to pick berries with Jen, she walked right into the berry patch sat down in the middle and began to pick the best berries and pop them in her mouth.  By the time we were done she had red juice running down the front of her. She loved that berry patch!
If you can buy berries from a local farm, please do. There is no comparison between a store-bought berry and ones just picked from a strawberry patch.
