"Where the pickin's good"

That's what the sign at Beechwood Farm said. :)
I took my friend Kristin's advice and Jake and I went and picked strawberries this past Friday. It was a very windy day, but we had a wonderful time. :)


(Jake's facial expression is only because of the wind - not because of who is taking the picture. My dear friend, Alaina went with us.

He actually picked one strawberry himself, and immediately wanted to eat it. . . he has enjoyed several since then and also made a beautiful fingerpainting of strawberry juice on my refrigerator when I allowed him to sit on the kitchen floor and eat some strawberries. :) (didn't get a picture - sorry)

That has got to be the greatest place ever! Wasn't it so much fun? I'm hoping we can go back again sometime, but as a family.

How fun! We were supposed to go today, but found out that it had gotten picked over this past weekend (was it you!?). So we're planning to go at the end of this week. Yay!
