The Monthly Pick

     Hello from North Carolina!  Yes, we have been busy but we have also had so much fun enjoying this season in our lives =) 
     A few weeks ago Chris and I got to go on an afternoon date to Starwberries on 903, one of my favorite places to go around here.  It's a beautiful farm with a HUGE strawberry patch, farmstand, animals you can visit with and this year they had homemade ice cream! 
     We enjoyed picking lots of strawberries together, tasting a few here and there.  We wanted to pick enough strawberries to make our first attempt at making strawberry jam.  Last year, my mom-in-law Sharon taught me how she makes jam.  This year, in our next post I'll share with you our first experience. 
     We are looking forward to going back to the farm next to 903 to pick blueberries, blackberries and peaches as they come into season in the next few months!




This was the first year we came at the BEGINNING of the season; there were SO many strawberries!


Beautiful strawberry patch

We picked 28lbs of strawberries =)



Homemade strawberry ice cream, delightful.



We love going and visiting with all the animals...including bunnies and chickens!



I spy an incredibly handsome man =)
