It's strawberry picking time at our favorite place - Eckert's Farm. So, we got up bright and early (ish) this morning to beat the heat and pick some berries. Yes, it is already hot here. Here are Matthew and I out at the strawberry fields. There were plenty of nice, ripe berries to be had there.
Everyone jumped right in and picked...and ate.
Grant had a pretty red face by the end. It seemed like for each berry he found he would stop and ask me if it was a good one.
He found lots of good ones.
We ended up with about 12 pounds of berries. It didn't seem like that much in our big baskets. But it was plenty.

They look so thrilled to stop and pose for a picture. :)
Later in the day we made jam. Scott did most of the work.
9 1/2 jars of jam. And still lots of berries left. I think we'll have strawberry shortcake tomorrow. We always have fun going to Eckert's and its nice that things are growing again.
