A picking we will go




For some reason I thought it would be fun to go Strawberry picking while I was 9 months pregnant. I guess that I thought that Calvin would actually pick a strawberry instead of looking at each berry and saying,"Eww, dirty."
Luckily for us, some great friends from Davis just moved up here and we met up with them. Alex easily picked 5 of our 11 pounds that we ended up with. So for 60 cents a pound, I think it was worth it. And it was a fun to get out for the day.
At first I planned on actually making jam, but instead I froze the blended berries and am waiting for the mercy of my mother. I think she'll want to make it for me when she gets here, since she won't be busy doing anything else:) She's cool like that.

If the weather is as lovely as you say it is, making jam will be a treat. (That's because I've often done it in "the heat of the day" as they say!)
