National Strawberry Picking Day

 While today is the day, we took an early run at getting this year's strawberries.  Saturday before we made our way out to Slate's Strawberry field for some spring time deliciousness.

The strawberry plants are huge!

No picking today as it was just starting to rain when we got there.  The pre-picked (that morning) were just fine.  Those are gallon buckets,,, with a wee bit extra.

Look at these!  This big yet still sweet and not hollow.  Absolutely perfect.

That evening fresh berries went on a chocolate cupcake that Himself baked.

Toasted homemade bread with strawberry jam and mine with cream cheese & macerated strawberries.

You know what?  I think we'll go back this weekend...
