The Fruit of our Labors




After we left the D-Day Memorial, we went strawberry picking at Scott's Strawberry Farm in Bedford, VA. They were having a "Strawberry Festival" with blue grass music and rides and about six stands for funnel cakes and lemonade. The kids did great picking berries; we got 5 buckets that emptied into three flats. We went picking last year near Appomattox, but these berries were much better- bigger, growing more thickly, juicier. Yum! I think there were strawberry stains on ALL of our faces before we were done- proof that we were working and having a great time, too. Here are three of our pickers and a photo of our berries that Owen took. Ooh la la!
