Strawberry Picking


I think you can tell where we've been again. We were at the strawberry patch with our friends Haley, Kate, and Judah. The kids had a great time picking out the perfect ones and fun eating them once we got home. It's always great to spend time with friends. I was afraid the picking would be sparse today, but there were still plenty of strawberries there and the lady told us they'll still be open through the end of May. We may need to have strawberry picking, round three.

I guess I'd better give an update/confession on the diet progression. I weighed this morning and am still at exactly eight pounds lost. Before you congratulate me on at least staying at the same place, please know that number has fluctuated back up rather often. I have been terrible about sticking to the no flour/no sugar rules. In fact, my day last Friday consisted of doughnuts for breakfast, doughnuts in a meeting, cupcake for lunch, pizza and birthday cake for supper. It's a miracle I didn't go into some kind of sugar coma! There it is all laid out for you. I probably just lost a few more pounds from all that guilt I'd been carrying around.

I haven't forgotten about being creative. I have actually made a few attempts at drawing something and then quickly through it in the trash. I seem to be suffering from some sort of creativity block. Maybe I'd do better with guidelines, someone telling what I should make. Any ideas on what I should do?

I think you should make strawberry jam out of those beautiful strawberries. Then send it off to all of your followers. Start with me. Love you and your blog, Rebecca

That might require another trip to the strawberry patch since my family's gobbling them up fast. But, that's not a bad idea. Hmm...

just curious, how much is it to pick berries in your area? i got all my strawberries for jam (32 lbs) at aldi's for $1.19/lb, which was WAY cheaper than picking, but you can't beat the u-picks for just eating. :) i'm thinking they're going to be close to $2/lb to pick here...ugh. so are they cheaper in the sunny south?! see you SOON! deb

It was $7.00 for the big container. I'm not sure how much it would've worked out to per pound. I'll have to inquire about that for you. I heard about that great sale at Aldi's. very, very jealous.
