It is prime strawberry season here, and the girls and I look forward to this time almost more than anything else. We got a gallon from our grower at church last Thursday, but they were gone by Friday. What is it about fresh strawberries? So the weather was really nice and cool on Monday, so we headed to the strawberry patch after we went to the Y. We each got a gallon container and got to work. The girls did really well, and have gotten almost too good at picking berries. They are so picky that I am almost asking them to pick sub-prime berries. We finally filled all three containers. Then we headed to a park for lunch. Weirdly, we were the only people at the park. But we had a nice afternoon together and a whole bunch of berries. Unless the weather is bad, we will be back for more on Monday! I like the freezer full and with the rate we are eating them, that will take a while!
Marching to the path!

Showing me their catch!
Can you see the strawberry stains on their face? I don't think we ate as many this year while we were picking.

Joiner on her way. These slides were sheet medal. It was a cool day, so they were comfortable. I do not know why slides are made this way because in the summer, they will be lethal.
