It's our favorite time of year, well besides Christmas. We love fresh strawberries and the jam and syrup they produce. This year they were big and juicy. We picked 9 buckets, and I really want more...don't tell Casey, he thinks we have too much.
Enough is never enough...we love it on pancakes, ice-cream, sandwiches, and anything else we can think of. We might have to put limits on it this year, so it will last through next year's picking time - Cody will have to slack off on his drinking it by the cup-fulls.
Andy, Janelle, and Seth were there to help, so it only took about 30 minutes to pick. It took a lot longer to make the jam and syrup, but it was worth every minute!
We had a contest for the "biggest berry." I'm not sure who really won, but there were a lot of shapes and sizes this year.
And, as always, Seth was the very best flagger
I made a strawberry shortcake for Easter dinner the next day. It was delicious and made me want more. I might have to go and pick another bucket full this weekend, just to munch on while Casey is out of town - he'll never know...my mouth is already starting to water.

DO IT! He will NEver know! I won't tell him! I've done that many times with out telling Jason. It's all worth it in the end. I am jealous that your berries have come on already! Wow! And they look SO good!
