After a Cracker Barrel breakfast with the husband and father-in-law, it was off to the fields for me. A solo trip to Beechwood Farms led me to fields of deliciously ripe strawberries begging to be picked. As soon as I stepped out of the car, that familiar sweet smell engulfed me and I was in Heaven! The plants were so full of ripe berries that I barely had to move to fill both of my 4-quart baskets. Seriously…Heaven!
The little strawberry pickers took a hay ride in the Lil Covered Wagon while the farm pups ran alongside. It brought back sweet memories of my once little picker here at this same farm way back when. It was idyllic.
I love moments like these. Moments that are simple yet put such a good feeling in my heart and a smile on my face. Moments that bring back memories and create new ones.
Have you gone strawberry picking lately?
Nice! Looks like a great crop of strawberries this year. — Margie at ‘IMINA Travel and Events
Thank you! They are amazing! Early crop this year!
Gorgeous! I’ll be waiting at least two (maybe three) more months for the berries here.
Ahhhh.. sigh, so this is where the “real deal” comes from. I would love to do this, but alas.. I wait for them to make it here in the back of a truck! Lucky you!!
Great post. Your pictures show you have a great time at your Strawberry Fields this year.
