Strawberries are here!

After a long, unusually cold winter, we are officially declaring Spring's arrival. Because for us, it isn't really Spring until we had a chance to pick berries at our favorite farm.

Today, as usual, the buddies quickly became the filthiest children there. They were covered in dirt and strawberry juice as they raced from row to row, collecting the ripest, juiciest berries. Someone even managed to SIT on a strawberry, reaching new levels of griminess.


But, I received a friendly tip from a woman in the check-out line who marveled at our grubby clothing. Just dip the clothes in boiling water and the strawberry stains lift right off. It worked like magic!
