Ellie and Louie Are Great Strawberry Farmers

 

I didn't have enough hands to take any shots of them picking the berries but I got shots of the activities after.  They washed the berries and then cut them up for strawberries and whipped cream.

Ellie made the topping.

And they both loved the sweet treat.

Thanks again for all your help!

The Strawberry Bandit Strikes Again

 

He might have even had some raspberries.

I think he ate more than what got into the colander.

He used his eagle eyes to hunt high and low for the right berry.

We ended up with this today plus all the ones in his tummy!

An Early Morning Visit

 

Imogene getting a sun soak.  She loves the sun!

Called in the farm hands to help pick strawberries.  My back is killing me from picking.

My first heart-shaped strawberry.

Look at the size of that one!

You know it!

Strawberry Pickin'

 

Jase and I made one trip around all the strawberry beds and got a bunch of berries!

So far I have managed to eat my weight in them and put up three-quart jars in the fridge for oatmeal and midnight snacks.  I still have about two pies and some more quart jars left.  And I need to pick again tomorrow!

We Have Berries...

 

Emmy and I found blackberries today.  Well, new green blackberries.

And I picked these beauties!

Everyone Loves Strawberries

 

The first pick of the year!  They are so sweet!

They are so red

I see a strawberry pie in my future...some strawberry smoothies...strawberry shortcake...and my Dad's favorite strawberry cake.

I shared but only one per person, please.

Best strawberry song ever!
