A Day Trip to the Country | Our Strawberry Adventure
This morning started out very over cast and chilly. My girlfriend and I packed up our littles and a picnic lunch and headed east in search of strawberries. We drove past farm after farm, old painted barns, fields of wild flowers and lots of curious animals. We rolled the windows down so we could say hi and sang plenty of rounds of Old Mac Donald. With the gray skies and the rolling green hills, it felt as if we were driving through a painting. The rural parts of Ohio are so beautiful, but I still pretended we were in England.
The farm was small and the fields were wet from last night's heavy rain fall but we felt like we'd discovered a little gem. The kids ran wild and ate more berries than they actually put in their containers. The farm didn't offer the typical fan fare or market with homemade pies and goodies we'd come to expect. Just a striped tent with an old scale, a stack of baskets to carry your loot, and a cash only sign. We loved it.
The berries are amazing! It was a really fun day, with lots of fun memories in the making! Now what to make...a pie, a crumble, jam. popsicles....
