one of my favorite things to do each year
is to head over to the strawberry patch.
while the berries are long gone
& we’ll soon head to the pumpkin patch,
i thought i’d share some images from this summer’s event.
each year we come home with a couple gallons of
delicious berries.
using most to make jam
& freezing the rest for smoothies.
this year i simplified my already easy peasy freezer jam plan.
which involved nothing more than adding pectin
& sugar
into a bowl of sliced berries.
home made jam.
end of story.
& melt in your mouth
delicious!!
we always leave a little time for a little post strawberry pickin’ dance party
Evan - We went strawberry picking this year and Morgan ate so many berries afterwards she broke out in hives. She's not allergic, but apparently you can OD on strawberries!
Cheryl - Beautiful photographs today!
I have just ventured back into reading my favorite blogs again,and read the blog about Evan. It rang so true. I know many did not understand why or how I chose to live the past six years with Kenny as sick as he was. Unconditional love, no matter what the circumstances. Thank you for such a beautiful example of it. I wish this young couple all the best.
traci - i loooooove strawberries. what a great place. looks like a fun day all around.
The Avery House - Beautiful photos my dear friend! You've inspired me, as always, to get to snapping my photos once again. I love how Caroline is color coordintaed to the strawberry fields. She looks like she could be on the cover of a magazine in these shots. And Madison too is beautiful. And let's not forget about you if I am gonna hand out some compliments. I love the shot of you and your “blues” girls. BTW, where did you get Caroline';s boots. I love them!
Carol S. - Too cute, love the red plaid shorts with boots. My mom makes that simple jam, delicious!
Sibi - You all are now known as “the family with the best legs!”over here at my house:)
What a happy and cheerful post!
I love the sassy scarf tied around Caroline's head!!
Happy Monday!
Big Hug,
Sibi

Lemonade Makin' Mama - You guys look awfully cute for strawberry picking!! I love how Caroline's shorts match the strawberry theme. (We are past shorts season over here in the PNW now… I think Fall has officially hit us.)
Privet and Holly - Perfect reminder!
I've got 17 pounds
of frozen strawberries
from two June trips
to our strawberry fields,
crying out to be made
into jams…and maybe
some for smoothies : )
LOVE these pics; the
one of Dan and your
baby tugged at my heart.
