One of the things that we regularly do is to pick fruit together as a family.  This builds tradition, which is very important to me.   It also provides us with fruit for year round use, because we freeze most of it.  The children are really good strawberry pickers.  This year we picked about 53 pounds of strawberries in half an hour.    And that doesn’t count all the ones we ate! 

 Gotta love strawberry picking season!!  What about you?  Do you ever pick berries or other fruit?  What’s your favorite fruit to pick?
