Strawberries!
Phil Valko, Ben Alter, and I went strawberry picking yesterday. We had a great time, actually. We met outside my apartment at about 8:15 and drove out to Lakeview Farms, which was about forty-five minutes away. On a depressing note, the signs of suburban sprawl permeated everything we saw on the way out there; it almost seemed as if the farm was tucked in between strip malls. Ugh.
We picked for about an hour and a half, amassing ten pounds each, and then headed home. I gave Ben a ride back to his house, which was nice because I’d never seen it before. He invited me in, gave me a brief tour, and we hung out for a bit before I headed home for a nap.
I think I’d like to make jam. I talked with Mom this morning about it, and it definitely seems doable. I have to get off my lazy butt and do it, though, before the strawberries go bad.
