It's July...can you get a whiff of that sweet somethin' in the air? We sure could yesterday as we pulled into the Stevenson's U-Pick Strawberry Farm with rows upon rows, clusters upon clusters of these....
Yes, take us to your berries...quick....before we are completely unable to fully contain our children! (I'm pretty much convinced that I really need a sign like this, too!)
And our kiddos proved to be all around avoid-the-squishy-green-a little too-hard-yet-stay-in-our-designated-area stellar strawberry pickers!
While I'm convinced I need that strawberry sign...and perhaps that snazzy little vintage red convertible jeep over there to do my berry pickin' in style ...
THEY"RE convinced we need vast acres of strawberries! I suppose the two sorta go together...although from slightly different quantities of work angles...
By the way, I love how the fields up here are surrounded by the dense woods and huge pine trees....not only is it just beautiful, but it gives a real appreciation for what the farmers from an earlier time had to do to clear these fields for crops! Can you imagine....?? I can't even begin to imagine!
As with most farms, they have more than just strawberries....they also have some sweet peas coming in....and they're very sweet, sweet peas!
And these adorable baby calves (with a very loud vocal mama cow in the near vicinity)! For more fun photos from yesterday, click on my Flickr gallery!
So now it's time to shell some peas, make some jam....and have heaps and piles of strawberry shortcake--wanna come join us...??!!
