One of my favorite spring time traditions is picking strawberries. It isn't the cheapest way to get strawberries...but they are sure tastier than the ones at the store. So Friday was a beautiful spring day here in Texas and I loaded up Toby and Hazel and packed some lunches and we headed out to the country to pick a bunch of berries.
Hazel really enjoyed feeding the animals that reside at the farm.
But the best treats when picking strawaberries come at the end. We always get some delicious homemade 100% fruit popsicles and strawberry ice cream.
I froze about half the berries to use later in smoothies, over cake, and just for yummy summertime treats. Now I've got to make some jam and some tasty strawberry desserts to enjoy this week!
We can't eat strawberries here so I am jealous. Maybe you will have some of them left when we get there in June.
ReplyDeleteMaybe when you're here we can pick blackberrIes instead
ReplyDeleteMmm - love the strawberries - they seem to be available year round here - and the quality is always good. We are fortunate that way.
ReplyDeleteHey, we were there that same day but had to come much later due to doctor appointments. We had a great time too :)
