One day this week we went back to our old stomping grounds of Linvilla Orchards. Last year we picked cherries but due to the cold sping the cherries were not ready yet so we picked strawberries instead. I had no idea so many strawberries grew on one plant or that the plant had more than one crop (I.e. not all berries ripen at the same time).
Fresh berries are delicious but I did learn I like my strawberries cold so I ate more once we got home.
If you ask Margot we went to the farm to see animals not pick berries. All she could talk about for two days was going to the barn to see animals. We saw chickens and goats and horses and fed ducks. And as soon as we left the animal area she wanted to go back (one-track mind).
Michaela and I on the other hand, knew we wanted to buy a pie...and eat it. We actually bought half a pie and got two forks. Margot got a cookie - we were not sharing. We sat outside at the orchards and dug in. It was a very berry pie (strawberry pie was not available - weird right?l) and delicious.
It was a fun day. I just flew home last night so am back at home, sweatin' in out.

Since I don't do facebook, I appreciate when you post here. It is nice to know what you are doing. Water ice. Huh! When I think ice, I think frozen water. I like that they make it so clear for people who think something else.
You are weird. Any fruit is better freshly picked. Cold strawberries are old strawberries.
I am sooo glad NOT to be at 108. Will be in low 70s here this week. A real warm spell.
