my youngest and I grabbed some plastic containers and headed for Fordyce Farms.
Once in the rows, I had to ask myself, “Why have I not indulged in this outing more often?”
My inner-voice then responded, “Because bending over can be uncomfortable, the sun can bear down on us unmercifully, and the pesky juice can stain your fingers!”
But wait….. Surveying the cheerful families around me, I thought, “This is u-pick family-fun style NOT berry picking first-teenage-job style.” Oh, the difference!
Of course,
the resulting
strawberry pie
is great too.
