Yes, I also miss those days when I was growing up in WV in the hills. The wild fruits and berries were always so good!!! And I would pick 2 for me and one for the bucket, but still come home with a lot for pies and a little jam or jelly. Still miss those lovely Paw Paws, they get ripe later. But those tiny, wondrously smelling strawberries are the very best.
