Day #142

After about 2 years our Strawberry Jam supply had dwindled down to about 2 pint jars. So it was time to pick strawberries again. We went to Crum's today. It was raining in Delaware but it looked like we had a gap in the radar to pick what we needed and to stay dry. So the adventurous Matlack family prepared for a possible wet picking spree.

I took a couple of vacation hours off of work to help so it wouldn't be just Kristi and the Kids. As you can see there was no rain whatsoever,the sun even popped out for a bit.

We picked about 4, 4qt baskets and it started to sprinkle. Kristi and I continued to pick the last basket and by the time we finished the basket it was raining but not too bad, our backs were a little wet.. but our baskets full! I think that if the kids wouldn't have ended up going to the van and helped pick that last basket we would have beat the rain.

The end result for the day.. 16 Pints of Straw berry jam were made! I Think we will be good for a few more years.
