first strawberries

June 4, 2009

DSC_0039

Our first CSA pick-up of the summer at Land's Sake in Weston was so wonderful. (Yes, Stella is wearing a bikini top. She insisted she was too hot, even though she was wearing a cotton tank top, and that was all that I could find in the diaper bag. And we went to the playground after the farm dressed like that. At least she has an adorable belly button). 

It is great to be back into our weekly ritual of being on the farm, filling up our big bag under the yellow CSA tent and then picking the pick-your-own parts of our share.  This week there was bok choy, arugula, tiny radishes, and broccoli rabe and then we picked rhubarb and strawberries.  There is nothing quite like watching your children enjoying that first juicy strawberry as they pop it into their mouths right from the vine, dripping with juice. Delicious.

I finished a little green bird with black and white wings.
