The sky was blue, the birds were singing and the laughter was contagious. It was a beautiful day and a GINORMOUS field of fresh strawberries awaited us.

During the summer the Mom’s Bible Study that I’m a part of takes a break – obviously, the summer time schedules make it hard to get a consistent quorum of women together each week.

But because I would go into withdrawal if I didn’t see these awesome women for more than a week, my friend Mary has organized social outings. All in an attempt to keep me sane.

{Mary is a very, very good person and she always goes the extra mile… Especially when my sanity is on the line.}

The Little Man got right into the whole agricultural experience – He gets that from his daddy. He was picking strawberries with the best of ‘em.

Unfortunately, very few of them actually made it into our basket…. that probably comes from his mother’s side of the family tree.

But in my defense, I don’t think that mine was the only progeny that was eating more than they were picking… and I have the photographic evidence to prove it.

At least he was willing to share… just for the JOY of it!

Good, True & Beautiful

And what about you? What brought you JOY this week?

Oh, what fun! And your pics are beautiful! Every year I say I’m going to take my kids strawberry picking and every year I don’t get around to it. LOL

You mean strawberries grow somewhere? I thought they came from the grocery store… I think I need to explore rural America. The sooner the better for this city-slicker!

Looks like EVERYONE had a great day with tummies just as full as the baskets.

LOVE IT! And yes, I let him eat too many strawberries and his bottom was proof of that (bad mommy)! Anyway, it was great fun and I am happy to have found a new “picking buddy.” Can’t wait to introduce you to all the wonderful things to pick – especially apples!! Can’t wait to see you next week.

I LOVE Strawberry picking. It brings back so many memories when my boy was little and he would eat them and get all red and sticky. FUN!
