At the suggestion of a friend, we went to a local farm this week to pick strawberries. Mmm...there is nothing like fresh berries: red, ripe, each one perfect because you plucked it out of the field yourself! Austin was interested in the berry picking for the first few minutes, until we realized he was starting to smash our picks a bit. So then we took turns picking and wandering around the field with him.
Even working one at a time, we came home with plenty of berries. Just over eight pounds, I think.
Of course we've eaten a fair amount today. We also froze two trays and made some jam this afternoon. We'll be enjoying this delicious treat for weeks!
