Berry Buddies

We went strawberry picking yesterday and enjoyed a fabulous June day (Boston Style). I am finding it tricky to make summer plans here because rain sneaks up on you just when you plan a beach trip or a photo session! When it's sunny and beautiful you have to scramble to get outside while it lasts. Is that how it is in Seattle? By July it is HOT and HUMID, but the rain and clouds are still a factor. Yesterday was just right for getting on your knees and searching for bright red berries. Presley and Charlie were eating as fast as I was picking. Luckily they got their bellies full quick and I could grab a few pounds of strawberries. Friday afternoon we are getting together with other moms to make jam.


Charlie is doing his shy boy head tilt in this pic. When strangers talk to him he gets so shy he tilts his head until he's curled up in a little ball!

You guys are such a cute family. Did you go to a strawberry farm to pick them? I'm assuming it's like going apple picking in the fall in NY...?

In Seattle the rain doesn't sneak up on you, it's just there. Except for the two months of summer when it's absent. Then it's back.

presley's hair is gorgeous by the way.
