More on strawberries

We went picking again Wednesday – a good first day of summer outing.  I got 7 1/2, Hannah got 8 1/2, Naomi got 2, and Sim got 1/2 pound.  (Sim’s measure doesn’t reflect the ones he ate.)

Naomi’s berries from last time, frozen.  May I add that Naomi washed and hulled them herself?

Mmmm.

Jam in the making.  After last week’s picking, we made 5 recipes – Hannah made Strawberry Butter and Strawberry Syrup.

Cute baby.  She can’t eat strawberries yet.

But she’s still REALLY REALLY cute.

Hannah loves making stuff – crafts, food, gardens, you name it!

Here we are on the way to our second day of picking.  I brought the camera along.  These shots are from when we were sitting at a red light.

Pictures of the baby, sitting backwards right behind the driver’s seat, don’t come out very well when it’s the driver who’s trying to take the pictures.

Sim fell asleep on the way there.

And once we got there, I got some good pictures of the baby.

But that was it.  I didn’t take any while we were picking.  Perhaps because I had the baby on my back?  At any rate, it was a gorgeous day, about 72 degrees, light breeze, blue sky.  You can picture it to yourself, right?

Maybe we’ll have to go again next week to get some more berries.  And some pictures.
