I am so happy we finally went strawberry picking over the weekend. Strawberry season is one of those things I look forward to every year.
I am also happy my parents came along with us because they were extremely amusing. My mom decided to pick her strawberries in the most peculiar way. She cut the stems with the nail clipper she keeps in her purse because she doesn't want to hurt the berries. I tried to explain to her that it doesn't hurt them to pick them by hand, but she was not convinced.
I just laughed.
i love the narrative of your photos. also, that is so lovely of your mom!
ReplyDeleteAwww, your mom sounds adorable, haha! What farm is this, if I may ask? (I'm also from Toronto and was hoping to go picking this summer as well!)
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE !
ReplyDeleteWhere did you go strawberry picking?
ReplyDeleteThis is something I definitely want to do someday!
ReplyDeleteNail clippers. That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteUmm, I've had the same nail clipper idea before! haha! I thought about going with snips! Your Mom and I are on the same page! Beautiful photos, Celine! xox
ReplyDeleteAww.. very cute! Our neighbour came home from a strawberry picking expedition this weekend, and so far we've benefited through mounts of fresh berries and an awesome strawberry tart! Maybe we'll have to go pick some ourselves, too :)
ReplyDeletehahaha...fantastic...
ReplyDeleteoh my...this looks like so much fun! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteomigosh i've been wanting to do the same thing! especially since strawberries are now in season. where did you end up going? (and do you know of any that are easy to reach by any sort of public transit in the gta?) i think i'll probably have to convince one of my car-owning friends that this is something s/he wants to do. heh.
ReplyDeleteWere they sweet? I was disappointed in the strawberries I picked at Organics last week. They were not sweet.
ReplyDeleteStrawberry picking? That looks like so much fun! Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteHaha! thank you so much everyone! The strawberries were really sweet! They were like candy!
ReplyDeleteWe went to Reesor Farm (which is just in Markham) to pick the berries, but I am not sure how much longer they are in season for.
Melinda! I can't believe you want to use clippers/snips too! Hilarious! That would never have crossed my mind!!
Ohhhh! How fun!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom is the cutest I say!
Mmmm, Ontario strawberries are sooo geeewwwd right now......
A ha ha... hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you go? I really, really want to go this weekend!
thanks for your reply on the sweet strawberries- we'll go this weekend!
ReplyDeletestraw berries so good!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a sweet idea. I just found your blog and I love it already.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! This reminds me of my childhood and how each year we'd go to pick strawberries for a day.
ReplyDeletei love strawberry picking! my town was famous for its strawberries but the farm, and the self picking, just closed down. so sad! these pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteceline, i love how you've captured the big of the sky and the small of the berries. perfect.
ReplyDeleteoh! so you can go and pick your own berries? what a sweet concept. Love your mum's technique :D
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful past time. i have never been strawberry picking (apples, yes, in the fall).
