Yumm-O

On Friday morning my friend Carla called and invited the kiddos and I to join her and her girls at the local strawberry patch.

It's hard to believe that the strawberry season is almost over - and it's barely the middle of May! (It's typically just starting at this time)  But the berries were red and juicy and sweet - and we were able to come home with 8+ pounds!

Dallas helped me in the kitchen that afternoon.  He smashed the strawberries as we prepared to make 12 jars of jam.

I also made a pie...

And the rest we ate straight from the container!

Until next time...I'll be watching my own patch grow
