These photos are taken a few weeks ago on my inaugural summer 2009 berry picking excursion (back on the day when Owen was at a non-descript testing center for 8 hours taking Step 1), but I did not post them immediately as I hoped to have records of at least a couple strawberry picking expeditions. Unfortunately, there's been an insane amount of rain this year...causing the farm we get our CSA items from to post stories about their flooded fields and the other strawberry patch I'd been hoping to hit up call a premature end to their season!
Beautiful field on what was a beautiful day
Our friend Hannah working hard for her bounty
Our bounty
Someone else's bounty (most likely an overachiever, manic jam maker, owner of a large freezer, or parent with many little mouths to feed?)
Reward for the morning's work...pre-lunch ice cream and strawberries*****
The strawberry season was too short this year, but it was fun while it lasted. So long fresh, handpicked strawberries. Keeping our fingers crossed for repeated rounds of other berry (raspberry and blueberry seasons are just around the corner) excursions to report back on...
