Berry Pickers, Unite!

~the labor force~

~the yield~

~the squint~

~the farmer~

~the embrace~

~the squint 2~

~the reveal~

Last weekend I managed to pull Terry along with us berry-picking. He's not as quick to sacrifice a precious day off to drive into the country to pick your own (insert curse word here) fruit. Once there, however, I think I heard him say, "Why don't we do this all the time? I'm coming back early next week for raspberries!", (clapping his hands together. Oh, and look at the skin-so-soft hands of this animator in the last photo. Perfect hands reveal the perfect strawberry.)

Having Daddy join us on a weekend adventure made those (1) strawberry smoothies, (2) strawberry ice pops, (3) strawberry frozen yogurt, (4) strawberry jello, (5) strawberry bread, (6) and strawberries with nutella- whew!- taste so much better. And even after filling three 2 gallon buckets completely full of strawberries, we've not yet grown sick of strawberries.

Forget the berries! The farmer is worth the trip! ZZTop meets fruit farming! Isn't it blueberry season now?
