Farmer & the Crows

I went to the Strawberry farm the other week & as I walked back to car I recalled Dad's venture into strawberry farming-on a fairly smallish scale I suppose - but big enough to take up the whole yard-I remember Dad said we could eat what ever we wanted from the small patch down the side but our lives wouldn't be worth it if we touched this other lot... so off we took to partake of the "strawberries" we could eat - but yuk! these were hot & horrible, turn a kid off strawberries forever I wasn't impressed,we were allowed to eat radishes. I can still hear Dad laughing, Anyway seeing as we didn't have anywhere to play now we made up the game Farmer & the Crows....Yeah Melissa was the Farmer & Billy & I were the naughty Crows - it went like this - The naughty Crows would come down to eat the strawberries & the farmer would have to come & chase us off or try to catch us ... this was fun for while until Melissa got sooky cause she couldn't be a naughty crow & didn't want to play anymore ....but I'm thinking Dad had probably instigated that game,it meant he had 3 live scarecrows looking after his strawberries ......foiled again I think
