The end of summer is coming, as September marches on. I love waking in the morning to the cool crisp air. No need for A/C right now, and that is so nice. Last week while running errands, I noticed that our local farm stand still had U-pick strawberries, and since I missed the beginning of the season, I wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by! So off we went to the fields. All the berries were little, but very sweet. The kids and I picked 5 1/2 lbs, and we were delighted. Over the weekend, I made freezer jam, and then cleaned and froze the rest for smoothies. Here are a few pix of our adventure.
I have even more plans as fall approaches, I hope to start a new fall quilt, find apples for picking and try a batch of pumpkin butter. We were able to order some fresh cider from our local dairy, so warm cider in the evenings this week while we enjoy the sunset.
I hope your end-of-summer brings you blessings.
Following the path to the fields!
The berries were small, but we had lots of fun hunting!
