Rites of Spring

Strawberry picking is a wonderful rite of springtime. We found a local farmer's market that had a hay ride out to the strawberry fields. Strawberry picking was a first for Elizabeth so it was fun to watch her search the plants for the perfect specimen. It was just hard to get it in the box instead of in her mouth, which was encouraged by the farm owners.





We walked away with five pounds of strawberries. Red mouths, red-stained shirts and a tradition started!


One for the bowl, one for the mouth, one for the bowl, one for the mouth
