Strawberry Picking
Last week we ventured up to Virginia and went Strawberry picking! It's one of my favorite things to do in the Spring. There is just something about those sweet berries straight off the vine! Brandon was off and it wasn't raining (finally!) so we hit up our favorite little farm in Chesapeake, Brookedale, and picked away.....
I had all these ideas of what I wanted to make with these strawberries, but somehow they’ve disappeared faster than anticipated. I did give some to my neighbors, but still, they went fast! I really hope to make it out there again! They are hoping to have a few more weeks of picking, plus they still had a lot of green ones... mother nature just needs to help out a little!
A little less rain this week, please!
I have to give Brandon a lot of the credit.... he did most of the picking! I was taking too many pictures! lol
I have never gone strawberry picking, but I imagine the farm must have smelled sweet from the berries and earthy from the soil! Sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day off :)
ReplyDeleteOh how i've missed that! Used to go with my grandparents when i was little. They tasted so much better than the ones we buy from the market here!!
ReplyDeleteoh gosh that is so cool!! I haven't done the strawberry picking before but I vaguely remember that I have done apple picking when I was little. Off to look up if there is any in my area!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful strawberries! I've never been strawberry picking, but I look forward to apple picking in the fall :)
ReplyDeleteLove! We are going to miss out on doing our favorite things like strawberry picking and apple picking. I wish they were all dog friendly!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! Props to Brandon for having the patience to pick berries, I don't think I could ever get Evan to do this. lol :-)
ReplyDeleteOh so fun. I have never been berry picking but I would love to go! :) I love how beautiful fresh fruit is! So glad you had a fun day and lots of yummy berries! XO - Alexandra
