Akers of Strawberries

It was strawberry pickin' time this Saturday....we let Rachel and Josh join us this year in our annual family tradition.  They were overjoyed (as you can see from Rachel's expression).

 




How nice to just hide in the strawberry patch, picking berries, talking.  Mara and Rachel have the life...........

Dare me?

 
Sam and Josh took their work very seriously....Sam went for quantity, Josh went for quality.

Ben said he was bored 2 minutes into picking berries........he endured, though, and kept picking 'til it was time to go.





 
Doesn't this look like something from a country video?




Josh discovered that the best strawberries hide right in the middle of the row.

 
The berries in the store don't even come close to these in flavor.........you really do have to pick them right off the plant.
