Strawberries!

It has been a persistent wet spring delaying the onset of the berry season, but with the sun breaking through the grey we finally have enjoyed the first round of Northwestern berries.



We tried out a new smaller farm this year with great success! Rows and rows of succulent fresh strawberries. When first picked each berries had an almost fluorescent sheen. Aurora had a great time running up the rows with more berries ending up in her mouth than in her bucket, which is what we love about "u-pick"!



With Grandpa and Grandma McCune visiting we picked several buckets of berries. We got a little to carried away with so many berries so fresh and so easy to pick. When we finally pulled ourselves out of the pach we had almost 5 gallons of berries totalling over 40 lbs of strawberries!



It has been a berry past several days, we've made LOTS of strawberry jam, strawberry shortcake, frozen strawberries, and the much loved chocolate covered strawberries!
