It is that time of year again. The strawberries are ripe for the pickin' so the little boys and me headed out with Gram to pick some of that sweet strawberry goodness. Luckily, we went early before it got too hot. Whit was a champion picker but Murphy was more interested in every piece of farm equipment and passing truck to get into the actual picking. When he finally decided to pick some it was rapid fire and he picked everything he could get his hands on- leaves, weeds and unripe strawberries. We managed to fill up 2 big buckets before we went on our merry way. Definitely a good time but let me just say I am glad I am NOT a farmer! Way too much work!

Murphy's "Quick Pick" - like the visor? VERY manly! Only REAL men wear flower visors.
