Each summer & fall our family tries to pick enough blueberries, strawberries and apples to last us through the winter. This year has been perfect for fruit picking; plenty of rain in the spring to encourage healthy fruit growth; cool summer mornings with gentle cloud cover to make picking comfortable and two childen who can pick their own. Whether or not they contribute to the final weigh-in is a question, but my oldest, much to my surprise, been very purposeful this season. As a result, she has gathered 5 pounds of strawberries and 3 pounds of blueberries and has been asking when we plan to return and pick more.
My son, on the other hand, picks the berries to eat immedaitely. The only evidence of his participation in berry picking is a stained shirt.
And for the newest member of the picking crew...let's just say he's there for the ride.
Yum!
