Sweet Summer

We saw grandma K's strawberries just wasting away in her awesome strawberry patch. So we thought we'd do her a favor and pick them. It was a quick fun Saturday afternoon activity. YUM!

Pulling out the hulls and cutting away
the bad parts in preparation for freezing.

This part wasn't so fun...But just getting to spend time with my handsome hubby was great. We were able to talk about starting a good-sized garden when we eventually have our own place. I love talking and planning for our future together!

Picking over the patch, some of our progress for freezing the berries before placing them in bags so we can enjoy them longer, and one of the few bowls we picked during the afternoon, after a POURING rainstorm! Picking those berries reminded me of the good times back on the farm in Washington-working hard, talking and enjoying the bounties nature provides for us.

And of course the
finished product. Frozen berries are
good for everything, From snacking,
to shakes, to toppings
on a crepe!

What do you enjoy about Summertime?
