one of my favorite things to do each year
is to head over to the strawberry patch.
while the berries are long gone
& we'll soon head to the pumpkin patch,
i thought i'd share some images from this summer's event.
each year we come home with a couple gallons of
delicious berries.
using most to make jam
& freezing the rest for smoothies.
this year i simplified my already easy peasy freezer jam plan.
which involved nothing more than adding pectin
& sugar
into a bowl of sliced berries.
home made jam.
end of story.
& melt in your mouth
delicious!!
we always leave a little time for a little post strawberry pickin' dance party

We went strawberry picking this year and Morgan ate so many berries afterwards she broke out in hives. She's not allergic, but apparently you can OD on strawberries!
Beautiful photographs today!
I have just ventured back into reading my favorite blogs again,and read the blog about Evan. It rang so true. I know many did not understand why or how I chose to live the past six years with Kenny as sick as he was. Unconditional love, no matter what the circumstances. Thank you for such a beautiful example of it. I wish this young couple all the best.
i loooooove strawberries. what a great place. looks like a fun day all around.
Beautiful photos my dear friend! You've inspired me, as always, to get to snapping my photos once again. I love how Caroline is color coordintaed to the strawberry fields. She looks like she could be on the cover of a magazine in these shots. And Madison too is beautiful. And let's not forget about you if I am gonna hand out some compliments. I love the shot of you and your "blues" girls. BTW, where did you get Caroline';s boots. I love them!
Too cute, love the red plaid shorts with boots. My mom makes that simple jam, delicious!
You all are now known as "the family with the best legs!"over here at my house:)
What a happy and cheerful post!
I love the sassy scarf tied around Caroline's head!!
Happy Monday!
Big Hug,
Sibi

I love Sibi's comment about the best legs .. that's what I always say about you and all your girlie ... beauitful legs! Love Carolline's sassy looking outfit too! :)
You guys look awfully cute for strawberry picking!! I love how Caroline's shorts match the strawberry theme. (We are past shorts season over here in the PNW now... I think Fall has officially hit us.)
Perfect reminder!
I've got 17 pounds
of frozen strawberries
from two June trips
to our strawberry fields,
crying out to be made
into jams...and maybe
some for smoothies : )
LOVE these pics; the
one of Dan and your
baby tugged at my heart.
