Strawberry Pickin'

Andi called me just after 8 this morning to see if Belle and I could go strawberry picking with her. Of course I said yes! How could I turn down strawberries?! We headed out to Boxx Berry Farm and spent part of the morning picking fruit. The berries were big and plump and bright red. I picked over 10 pounds of deliciousness! Belle carried around her own little bucket. She picked the unripe berries that were still green, or she stole berries from my bucket.

Andi and I... should have taken a second picture since Andi's eyes were closed, oops!

The fruit of my labor! (pun intended)

I made 16 jars of strawberry jam and I can't wait to eat it! I also had a ton of leftover berries for us to enjoy throughout the week. Yummy! Now I'm looking forward to raspberry pickin' time!

OMG...first of all, what a great date for you, Andi, and Ab! Secondly, what beautiful strawberries. Thirdly, I had no idea you were so domestic making your own jam, you go girl. I dunno if I can keep looking at your blog. The places you go, the mountain, the lake, the water, the beach, the strawberry patch! It makes me way homesick. I just get to hang out with drag queens, try not to melt in the crazy heat, and do tri-althalons @ disneyland. Love yo u and miss you!
