Strawberry picking...

Molly not really into picture taking

Jack after strawberry picking. He thought it was a good idea to squeeze the strawberries as he was eating them this year!

We went strawberry picking on Monday. They are beautiful this year, but they are not very sweet. They will still be wonderful in pies this winter when we are craving some good berries during the gray of winter in Oregon. The kids had fun, but I had to limit them to eating only 7 berries while there. We had the whole discussion that if they eat all they want they are really stealing the berries because we do in fact have to buy the ones we pick - they are not free!

Now we are ready for our blueberries to ripen and pick them!
