strawberries .. oh yes.

so today, keith and i were planning on planting hardcore .. but we are conked out after working the past several weeks with zero days off.  i mean, it is literally get up, move chickens, eat breakfast, work outside until one-ish, eat a quick lunch, work outside until about eight, lock up the chickens, come inside, eat dinner, shower, sleep, repeat.  non-stop.  for weeks and weeks.



but today--!  i found out about a pick-your-own berry patch in taylorville last weekend at the farmer's market.  they sell strawberries for 1.50$/lb--1.50$/lb!  it's insane!  how could i not pick strawberries for that price?  we were shooting for thursday since i had so much work to get done--plus the herald and review is coming out tuesday and we have a lot of preparation for that--but since we were so worn out today, i said, hey! let's do this!  so i called amanda panda up and said we needed to see each other stat (my illicit sister wife lover and i haven't seen each other outside of csa pickups in about as much time as i haven't had a day off), and since her hubs was so gracious to keep the day open for us, we spent an awesome mother's day picking strawberries.
