Strawberry fields forever

Left the house at 7:30 to go pick strawberries. By the time we were leaving, around 10 or so, the fields were packed and the parking lot almost overflowing, and a school bus had arrived with more eager pickers.

Picked a total of nine baskets among two adults and three kids. Three have now been processed.

The first was consumed fresh by us, accompanying gluten-free pancakes, and by the D & D kids, accompanying bananas and apples as part of our regular fruity snacks. The next became jam and has now been partly consumed by the D & D kids, accompanying fresh home made bread.

The third is also becoming jam and will be returned to its owners tomorrow :)

Two more baskets await processing. Sooooo many strawberries...
