The weather is so nice outside that mom decided we should go strawberry picking today, just the 2 of us. And I'm soo glad she invited me! I always thought that strawberries came from the grocery store or the little strawberry plant on our porch, but boy was I surprised! There were rows and rows of huge strawberry plants at the farm we went to. They even had strawberries planted between rows of peach trees! I had no idea they could grow like that!
And let me tell you, I have never had strawberries like this. They were so juicy and warm from being in the sun. My hands and face were all pink when we left. Did I mention that I probably ate more strawberries than I picked? When we checked out, we ended up picking 6.5 pounds of berries!! Now we need to figure out what to do with them. I gave a couple to Sawyer and he loved them. Dad says we should make ice cream and mom says we should make jam. I better put some aside for me before they are all gone!!
