Last pick of the season

The local farm me and the kids have been going to this summer closed last Sat :( It was horribly hot out already at 9am when we went to pick blueberries and peaches one last time and the kids quickly lost interest in picking. It also didn't help that we had to look for bushes that still had berries on them this late in the season.


They really enjoyed the peach picking, however, I ended up w/ a whole pile of peaches that weren't quite ripe yet and as they ripend, had lots of bruises from being handled and dropped by the kids. Oh, well, you live and you learn. I used most of them to make a homemade peach pie. The crust came out excellent! The pie, was just ok, I would much rather have apple pie :)

Its strawberry time!

Christopher has been asking when we can go to the farm for a couple weeks now, and it opened mid-week this week, so yesterday morning we hit the farm first thing! Christopher loves to go to the farm and pick anything in season, but makes me crazy cause he refuses to eat any of it! We picked almost 8lbs of strawberries, and ate a few in the field :) We were alittle concerned about the crop this year, as we had a pretty rough winter, but they have all been excellent so far! Big, beautiful, red, juicy berries. Everyone had a great time picking and eating(except C of course)!
