Emma's Gentle Strawberry Year

4 min 31 sec

Emma loved strawberries more than any other fruit in the whole wide world.
She loved their bright red color.
She loved their tiny seeds.
She loved how they tasted like summer, even when the weather outside felt sleepy and cold.

Every morning, Emma stretched her arms up high and asked her mom the same happy question.
“What strawberry thing do we get today?”

In January, snowflakes danced past Emma’s window like tiny white feathers.
The house felt quiet and warm.
Emma sat at the kitchen table with a bowl of strawberry oatmeal that steamed like a soft cloud.
The berries were from last summer, kept safe in the freezer like little sunshine treasures.
Emma took a spoonful and smiled, because it tasted like a warm hug.

February arrived with hearts everywhere.
Emma helped bake strawberry cookies, pressing her thumb into each one to make a small dip for jam.
The kitchen smelled sweet and cozy, and Emma hummed while the cookies cooled.
When she took a bite, the jam filled her mouth with a gentle, happy sweetness.

In March, the rain tapped the roof with quiet patter sounds.
Emma and her mom made strawberry tea, letting dried berries float in hot water until the cup turned a soft pink.
They sat under a blanket fort and whispered make believe stories about tiny strawberry fairies who wake up the first spring flowers.
Emma felt calm, like the whole house was a cozy cave.

April brought Saturday muffins.
When Emma broke one open, berries hid inside like shiny little surprises.
The warm muffin smelled like breakfast and sunshine, and Emma imagined each berry was a secret treasure in a tiny garden.

In May, the first fresh strawberries appeared at the market.
They were small and bright, and they tasted like candy.
Emma held one carefully and counted the seeds, one by one, like she was counting stars.
“How can something so little taste so big?” she wondered.

June was the month of strawberry baskets.
At the farm, rows of plants stretched out like green rugs.
Emma walked slowly, looking for the reddest berry of all.
When she found the perfect one, she twisted it gently, and it popped free with a tiny soft sound.
Emma put it in the basket as carefully as if it was a jewel.

July afternoons felt warm and lazy.
Emma froze berries on a tray, then blended them into a thick strawberry slushie.
It made her cheeks cool and her eyes sparkle.
She sat on the porch swing with a picture book, sipping slowly while the wooden boards creaked like a bedtime lullaby.

In August, dessert tasted like celebration.
Emma helped stack strawberry shortcake with fluffy cream and juicy berries.
She licked the spoon clean and saved the biggest berry for last, eating it slowly to make the moment stay longer.

September meant school days again.
Emma packed strawberry fruit leather in her lunchbox and peeled it off the paper like a sweet little ribbon.
Under the big oak tree, she shared pieces with friends and traded tiny stories about favorite snacks and silly playground games.

October brought cooler air and longer shadows.
Emma drank strawberry smoothies mixed with apples, pink and gold swirling together like a sunset in a cup.
She carved a small strawberry shape on her pumpkin, and when the candle flickered inside, it glowed like a gentle heart.

In November, the house filled with the rich smell of strawberry jam bubbling on the stove.
Emma stirred slowly with a wooden spoon while her mom watched the pot.
When the jam was ready, Emma spread a little on warm bread and closed her eyes as she tasted it.
It felt like summer returning for a tiny visit.

December arrived with snow again.
Emma made strawberry hot chocolate, melting chocolate into milk and dropping in frozen berries that bobbed on top like tiny boats.
She sat by the window and drew strawberry shapes on the frosty glass with her fingertip.
Outside, the world looked quiet and soft.

All year long, strawberries helped Emma remember the seasons.
They helped her remember warm mornings, kind afternoons, and slow cozy evenings.
She kept a little journal with drawings of each strawberry treat, one for every month, and she always added a small smile next to her favorite.

One night, when the year felt complete and peaceful, Emma placed one dried strawberry under her pillow like a tiny lucky charm.
She snuggled into her strawberry patterned quilt, listening to the hush of the house.
Her breathing slowed.
Her hands curled around her blanket edge.
And her thoughts floated gently, like strawberry fields drifting through a dream.

The moonlight rested softly on her room, silver and quiet.
Emma felt safe, sleepy, and happy.
She knew tomorrow would bring a new day, a new little moment, and a new gentle adventure.
