Strawberry Days

Each year we try to go to a local farm to pick strawberries. The picking season is short and between prior engagements and the popularity of the field (leading to it getting picked out quickly each weekend morning), we rarely make it. Luckily, this Memorial Day the timing was right and we got to go as a family.

Picking strawberries is so addicting and I couldn't get Andy to stop, so we headed home with eight pounds of berries.

We've enjoyed some great recipes courtesy of Pinterest. I have a small bag with the remainder of our strawberries in the freezer and have plans for those berries too. So much fun and so delicious!
