Summer has officially started! The grumpiness has subsided, as we finally welcomed our first real sunny summer days. By the way, I heard on the radio that Portland had a total of three (THREE!) clear days the entire spring, so we were not alone in our cabin fever state-of-mind. This album highlights our celebration of Father’s Day with some good old-fashioned (and free!) agri-tainment, as Matthew likes to call it – a trip to the local farm for some strawberry and raspberry picking. Dean had been aching to get out to the farm for months now, but the farms don’t officially open to visitors until June. Fiona was a little unsure of the hayride, but she loved talking to the pigs! And we managed to make some yummy jams – strawberry rhubarb and strawberry raspberry, our first jams of the year.
It still seems bizarre to me that we were wearing sweatshirts and fleece in June, not to mention rubber boots, but as I’ve looked back at our photos of strawberry picking adventures in Portland, I am always wearing that red fleece jacket. Sunny doesn’t always mean warm. Yet.
