Strawberries and blueberries – guess it's going to be a terrific morning!  Such luscious color.

One of the things I like about this challenge is learning new things.  Was curious why strawberries were called that when blueberries are just blue.   Short version according to Snopes - The word ‘strawberry’ has been part of the English language for at least a thousand years, well before strawberries were cultivated as garden or farm edibles. They grew in the wild of their own accord [therefore] the word’s precise origin cannot be determined.

Regardless, Google theories abound with all sorts of notions.
