Having grown up on an acreage with a huge strawberry and raspberry patch has not made me shun berries. I love picking berries when I can find the time, and I have one daughter that loves to pick and one that loves to preserve anything and everything, so we are happy to work together, as we did one day in July. At 8 1/2 months pregnant, Kirsten wasn't able to pick very easily, so she watched the kids while Rachel & I picked berries - 11 buckets in all. Having friends Arlene & Audrey there with us, made the time fly by.
Kirsten met us at our place with the kids, and we got to work. Putting away 11 buckets of berries is only a lot of work if you do it alone. With us all working together, it was lots of fun.

And the kids? Well, when they weren't napping, they were playing together so well, it was hard to believe they are only 13 and 18 months old!

| We just woke up... can you tell? |
