'Tis the Season

Strawberry season, that is! Our garden strawberries are long gone, thanks to Jack's daily attacks on the strawberry patch. I think I got maybe two berries this year. Sigh.

So we loaded up the kiddos and went for one last end of the season berry picking extravaganza. Sawyer was, obviously, not a lot of help.

Jack is still struggling with the concept that some berries go into the bucket, not into the mouth.


Jack and Lily were also not much help. Although they did provide entertainment for the serious berry pickers among us.

I made freezer jam, strawberry shortcakes, and a strawberry rhubarb pie and then crammed the freezer with bags of frozen berries. I think this is my favorite time of year.
