Strawberry Season


Rowan was very upset that she had to sit in her car seat on the way out to the strawberry field. We told her what we would be doing and how much fun it would be, and how you can eat strawberries there....but she was still upset.
She actually picked a few berries. Sorry for the butt shot.


Yummy!

Andy said our berries weighed in just over 14 pounds!

Hard working hands.

We went strawberry picking today in a little town just Southeast of our house. Rowan picked about 3 berries (of various colors) and ate about 4 berries. The rest of the time she just played with the straw in the field. Andy and I picked about 14 pounds of berries and surprisingly, I was able to find room in the fridge for both trays. Now the challenge for me is to process the berries and make jam or sauce tomorrow. I will not be able to on Thursday or the weekend because of work and other obligations. So wish me luck on my first ever canning adventure! If I'm successful, I will go back out to the farm sometime within the week and pick more berries. That way I can share some jars with friends and family.

Rowan picked this one for you!
