Saturday my daughter-in-law, Karla, and I went berry picking. Across the street from where I live is a berry patch, Lodermeier Gardens.
It was a very foggy morning and the fields were damp but we picked any way
Here is where we picked up our buckets to pick. It is a small place but the berries were good and it was Ellies first time. 
It was early so we were dressed for picking and Ellie had her strawberry outfit on.
It didn't take long to get our buckets full and Ellie did a pretty good job of entertaining herself
Ellie was ready to go home and eat some strawberries but grandma was making jam with hers
just enough for jam and a few to freeze for later..oh..and a few to eat
I was able to get 11 little jars of culinary delight.
I will have to watch that hubby doesn't eat them all before winter. It will be nice to enjoy a scone or biscuit filled with fresh butter and strawberry jam this winter in front of the fireplace.
