The Strawberry Patch

Last week my grandmother called me.

They were going to Texas for a few days to visit my brother and some other family.

She asked if I could do her a big favor.

"Dacia, while we are gone would you mind coming out to pick the strawberries 

and take them home to eat?"

Hrmm, I dunno grandma.

I'm not a big fan of home grown, farm fresh, delicious, organic strawberries.

But if I am doing you a BIG favor, then I guess I can manage.

So last night Geoff, Dominic, Payton, and I treked

(as much as a 10 minute drive can be a trek)  

out to the farm and pick the most yummy strawberries in the world.

I picked a little over 3 quarts in a short amount of time.

On tonight's agenda, old fashioned strawberry fruit leather!

Just like we used to make when I was a little girl.
