At the West 30th Street entrance to the Highline -  something has sprouted up - a colorful rainbow 'city'.

Summer in the Country

Isn't it wonderful to be able to go and pick beautiful fruit like this and eat it moments later - there is nothing better than a fresh juicy strawberry!

You had to get out early this morning to pick strawberries at Jones Family Farm, before the rains started.
