Strawberry Picking!

Hi all!  Yesterday, Mom took Georgia and I strawberry picking!  Elizabeth would have come, but she had schoolwork to do.  Blea.

 If you didn't know it already, I just LOVE strawberries, so I was super excited!

 We grabbed a carton and headed out to the fields.

 "Oo, this one looks good!" I said, grabbing another strawberry.

 Georgia had carrying duty.

 Aren't strawberries just delicious looking?

 "This little flower is pretty." Georgia commented.

 "I like looking at the strawberries better." I said.  "Maybe that flower will become a strawberry!  Though pollination and bees and stuff."

"Hmm . . . I guess it's possible." Georgia replied.

 Actually, we were kind of late in the strawberry season, so there weren't as many as if we went in, say, February.

 But that doesn't mean there weren't some beauties!

 If you can tell by the bright, harsh sunlight, the day was super hot.

"Alright, girls, let's go pick some blueberries now." Mom said.

"Huh?" I said. "I thought we were here to pick strawberries."

"Weren't you paying any attention in the car?" Georgia questioned me. "Strawberries aren't the only fruit around."

"It's the best one!"

"Sure, sure." Georgia may have rolled her eyes like a annoying older sister, but I'm hoping for the best. "Let's go."

 However, it was nice and shady.

 And blueberries are pretty.  Not as nice as strawberries, though.

 "Let's pick some blueberries." Georgia said, handing me the carton.

 "This one looks good." my sister said.

 Look at all those yummy berries!

Have you ever been berry picking?

P.S. For those of you who are curious, Elizabeth will update soon!  She has lots of schoolwork and is trying get it all.  Homeschooling isn't all fun and games.

My Summer Goals

 Hi all!  Okay, so it's not "officially" summer yet (according to my calender), but it feels that way to me.  So, I outlined 10 of the things I want to do this summer.

 #1 Go on Vacation, preferably to North Carolina. 

 #2 Read more books than Elizabeth. I've tried to every summer, but some how she always wins.  It's fun anyway, though.

 #3 Make new stuff for my AG dolls.  They could use some summer outfits. ;^)

 #4 Eat loads of summer fruit like pineapple, watermelon, kiwi, and most importantly STRAWBERRIES!!!!!!!

 #5 Swim as often as I can drag my family and friends down to the pool with me.  Even though I'm 11, I still can't go alone!

 #6 Have sleepovers with all the friends that can come to my house.

 #7 Bombard my pen pals (and besties, when I'm on that NC vacation) with 10-paragraph letters.

 #8 Call out-of-state friends.

 #9 Buy this adorable outfit to do it all in.

 #10 Avoid the Florida humidity as much as possible, taking refuge in the pool or behind a giant fan as necessary.

What do you want to do this summer?

National Strawberry Day!

 Hi all!  I was checking out Doll Diaries, and I saw that today is National Strawberry Day!  As if I need an excuse to eat strawberries.  :^)   I celebrated with a bowl of the juicy red fruit and whipped cream (it's so my fave snack).

What's your favorite snack?

and

Are you celebrating National Strawberry Day?

P.S.  On a side note, I just wanted to clarify that our last name is NOT Saltys!  It's Edwards.  Elizabeth and I don't mind being called "the Saltys" but we just wanted to make sure you all knew.

We went to a Strawberry Patch!

Hello lovely readers! Over the weekend, we flew up to see Julie. But I left the SD card that held all the photos at her house. We should have it back by Thursday or earlier. If you just have to know what happened, check out Julie's blog here: Jlove. Today Elizabeth and I went to a strawberry patch. For me, spring doesn't start until we go strawberry picking. Although, in Florida, summer could be starting. We selected many fresh, juicy berries. Don't forget, I LOVE STRAWBERRIES! 

 There is only one letter needed to describe strawberries- Mmmmm! 

After we had paid for the berries, we headed home to sample the crop we picked. 

Yum, Yum! Have you ever gone strawberry picking?  If you haven't, you should .
