This time of year
We took Sylvia strawberry picking (at a local pick-your-own place) last year, shortly after she turned two. For months she’s been excited about returning there and has talked about it constantly. And yesterday we went.
We came home with about eight pounds of strawberries and just under ten pounds of rhubarb. Sylvia ate strawberries pretty much nonstop while we were in the field, but fortunately they didn’t weigh her, too.
I can’t wait until the strawberries are ripe in the fields. We’ve had such a cool spring and summer so far that everything is behind. I am really looking forward to freezing some berries!
Mmm… strawberry-rhubarb anything…
