Landen strawberry picking last weekend. We made sure they were organic (no pesticides) and then let him loose.

Strawberry picking is one of the only good things about summer in Maine...

That is adorable.

I remember as kids going to pick them. It took years for my parents to figure out that I am allergic to the plants.

Did they make you weigh him before and after and pay the per-pound price difference?

haha. no, they we're really cool about it - we are in Maine afterall, pretty much anything goes around here.

we just paid for 4 qts. and took home 3. they're cheap enough that i feel like we're robbing them as it is.

My folks took me berry picking in when I was this age in Oregon, and they probably SHOULD have weighed me before and after...we'd pick strawberries, blackberries, marion berries...Mmmmmmmmm, good times. Thanks for posting the cute pic.

Love the picture!

That is a great picture.

Brought back memories of my son about that age picking tomatoes. (He's now 30)

Thanks for sharing.

Very cute..

Cute . . .

#1,5 Nice thing about the cooler climates. Strawberries (and many other berries) are great here. My parents used to load us into the car and head up to Marysville, about 20-25 miles North of Seattle, when strawberries ripened. In addition to getting them fresh, we'd come back with these really large tins of canned strawberries. Not dark and cooked, these were canned in sugar. Great on ice cream and....did someone say

WAFFLES?

BTW, where I live, blackberries grow by the metric assload. Given how quickly they grow, I suspect they fare well many other places. We also get plenty of wild red huckleberries. Makes a great cobbler.

great pic,handsome devil.....

thanks for the kind words, all.

just trying to work less and be with him more.
