strawberry picking

the strawberry fields are finally open for picking. it's a tradition that i like to keep...remembering how much i loved going with my mom and sisters when i was a girl. my sister amy and her boys came along and despite max going to sit in the car 5 minutes into picking...my nephew juju trance eating berries...and bee putting everything but strawberries in our bucket (dirt, crayons, her baby doll)...we made a memory! and nothing is sweeter than that, especially when it comes with a bucket full of strawberries warm from the sun on the side.
