Berries Galore!

Tuesday afternoon us ladies and Josiah and Mrs. Eddy and Theresa headed out to go berry picking together! Strawberries were on the menu and we were able to find a huge farm/orchard that had a great price and huge selection of the fruit! Though the sun was blazing down, we made quick work of it and came home with over 45 lbs of berries!

[sorry the images are grainy. I forgot to check my ISO speed and later found it on the wrong setting! Oh well.]







There was the hunt for the largest berries and though all were close Christianna found a pretty big one! Of course that size was just to big to keep so in the mouth it went! =)

Yumm! Juicy warm berries!

The Eddys with their 14 pounds!


By the end of our picking we had three heaping boxes of strawberries, a few spots on our clothes(and faces) we hoped to get out and more than a few berries in our bellies!
Later in the day Faith got going on making jam. Simply scrumptious!



Deliciousness personified!

GRRR....
You guys rock! You make homemade jam, go strawberry picking, grow vegetables, see butterflies, hunt turtles, live in the country where there's a farm and kittens, and build lofts in your bedroom! And on top of it, babysit and give bread-making classes.
GRRR......... Why, why, why, wasn't I born as "Anna Sauve"?

I'm so glad you're enjoying your new home!
The pictures are great. The girls' bedroom looks really nice. There are so many creative ways to make a small space go a long way.
God bless you,
