Ours For the Picking: Fresh Indiana Strawberries

 family strawberry picking

We picked 13 1/2 lbs of fresh Indiana strawberries over the weekend at Spencer Farm. With our 6 pickers we filled a huge box in an hour!  Although it mostly looked like this…pick a few eat one, pick a few more, eat another…

It reminded me of the blueberry picking days in Michigan when they were just a year and a half.  Man, they weren’t joshing when they talk about kids growing up before your eyes!

We are planning on soaking up this summer as much as humanly possible as a family.  I’m so thankful for that I can physically do so much more than I could this time last year.

In fact, I teared up a little squatting down in the strawberry field, realizing how grateful I am to be put back together again and not missing so much as a Mama.

Instead, I experienced fresh picked happiness with my fresh picked strawberries, living this memory together.  Thank you, Jesus!
