Berries and Peaches

For an emergency preparedness activity our ward planned a day of berry and peach picking. The idea was to have fun picking berries and peaches and then bring them home and learn how to preserve them. The boys and I had a lot of fun picking the fruit. Goose ate more black berries than he put in the boxes and Jester just hung out. Iceman did a great job picking peaches. We picked peaches, road a tractor to the berries and back, played with farm animals, ate a picnic lunch that included roasted corn, and picked pretty flowers for Charlie to put out on the table. We had a lot of fun. Our peaches are still ripening, and our balckberries are about half gone. We made a yummy batch of homemade ice cream with some of them and Goose is sure trying to finsih off the rest. I didn't quite get to the preserving part this time, but we sure had fun picking!
