We harvested the first big bowl of strawberries from the chimps’ strawberry patch today! Spring this year has remained windy and on the cooler side so we’ve only removed the panels of the greenhouse that face Young’s Hill to avoid the wind whipping through their toasty space. So the chimps have to go into the raceway leading to Young’s Hill to see the strawberry patch, but without fail, the second I’m out there I can hear a crowd gathering behind me in anticipation.
Jamie – this face!
Jody anxiously awaiting her berries (even Dora looks excited in the background 🙂 ):
Mmmmhhh, sun-warmed strawberries…
Missy reaching for her handful:
Annie and her strawberry covered tongue got tired of waiting for more and decided to help me out by sitting with her mouth and hand ready so I could drop more in as quickly as possible:
I don’t blame them, Those look delicious.
The chimps are so precious!! Well done strawberry growers and strawberries and sun and soil!! Love and hugs to you all…….
Oh the anticipation in Jamie and Jody’s eyes! Annie however steals the show with her method of awaiting delivery! That’s very funny. Who can blame them. Nothing better than freshly handpicked fruit from your personal garden. You guys do everything with great style.
You capture such beautiful moments and make us feel as if we were there. Love those faces and the hand:) I can feel the excitement. Thank you.
Beautiful Tobin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
