This morning we went to an Amish organic farm and picked our own strawberries. 5.75 lbs of them. Which will make a delicious addition to cereal and vanilla ice cream let alone the pie that will be made this weekend. Mmmmmm. There were 3 kids, 2 ponies, 2 kitties (one was teenie), a rabbit, and a few horses in the field. One of the ponies was connected (what's the right word?) to a cart that the kids would ride in. They took Ava and Liam for a ride. I didn't let James go for fear that he would begin to protest as soon as the ride began, and also because he is still small and I didn't want him to suffer a head wound, which he did not like at all. Not that he wanted a head wound, mind you. After the kids came back he sat in the cart. If (when?) we go back for raspberries and/or blueberries, we can revisit the whole James in the cart thing. We were there a little under an hour I think, and it was productive. The lady of the house (who had a baby the same size as Ruby) said they had picked several flats that morning and sold them already, and another couple had just left and they had gotten quite a few. There were plenty left in the field, just not a ton of large ones. Never mind that. They smell and taste of heaven. What a great way to spend a morning!
