| I'm not sure yet, thats the problem. Our trip to the cabin depends on DH's job and when they finish it up. Don't worry about it - I'm sure I can try to get in on another trip. Plus DS and wife will be coming to the St. Maries property on a regular basis now. Thanks though! I look forward to meeting you guys! |

Sherri-
Let me know when you are going to be in the area and I bet the berries will be good then too. I have picked all the way through August before.

I couldn't find Carver's on the list of Green Bluff growers? I called Knapp's, where I picked last year, and the berries are on, at .95/lb. They are open 7 to 7, and I'd love to get started early, so how about if we plan to meet there at 7? That way we get peak freshness not only in the berries, but we won't wilt in the heat, and it gives us the rest of the day to get those berries preserved.
I've edited the first post to include the latest info. and a list of who is going to meet for strawberries? Let me know if I made a mistake and I'll change it.
We make a difference. |

Oh no Teresa! I am so sorry that you are having teeth problems too! Some dentists will do a payment plan. I hope you get everything taken care of! *hugs*

Oh No! You all didn't meet up? Thats too bad!
Don't worry! I haven't forgotten about the blackberries (or black raspberries...whichever they are!! LOL). I just haven't had the time to swing by to check on them yet. I am hoping to do that tomorrow or the next day!
Hugs!

Double bummer Michelle, you should have seen Teresa walked up to all the ladies with hats on. One lady got miffed at her cause she was in her row checking out her hat. It was tooooooo funnny. Grand daughters faces were covered in strawberry juice and I forgot to take a picture. UGGHHHH
Okay we will see you for sure in Moscow......
Enjoying the moments. |

I was surprized by the crowd, and the number of people that fit your description too...but I missed the scarf in your hair? I looked up each time the cart came by. Left at 10. I was in the first few rows trying to be easy to spot. I thought about running through the field, calling you, but I'm not that brave yet. So sorry to have missed you too. It was a great morning...but how very crowded it was.
All I can smell is strawberries...ah! Made strawberry/honey wine, strawberry jam, an interesting berry wine jelly that looks so pretty and is begging to top a cracker w. cheese, and the family is drooling at the thought of strawberry shortcake. I think we'll have strawberries for dinner. I'm too tired from preserving to go back into the kitchen now.
Here's a picture of my little berry mashing friend. It's an egg with a face and little chicken legs with feet loops for mashing hardboiled eggs, but is just right for mashing berries. It fits nicely in my small hand too.
Thank goodness for Alee. Looking forward to seeing y'all when she says it's all set. :) For now, I'll just have to eat these biscuits I baked up this morning to share for breakfast...oh, I guess I did make shortcake after all. I'm pooped. And happy.

Michelee, how funny we looked for a purple car but would you believe there were several. That lady that got miffed was in the first 6 rows. OOOOOhhhhh how stinking funny. We are doing jam tonight. I had to take a nap cause I didn't fall asleep till 4am this morning. Ughhhhh, what a great tool for mashing berries. I agree wow were there a lot of people. We thought about hollering huckleberry but chickend out we should have the the grandbabies do it. LOLOLOLOL
I sure do understand bushed......
Enjoying the moments. |

I didn't realize until I got to Spokane that it's hoopfest weekend. I think we must have a lot of extra berry pickers. So sorry to have missed you. I need to tie a purple flag to wave over me, or wear a really outrageous hat...but I don't like the attention so much. I wonder if we were at the same place? Knapps? Well, I hope you had a lovely time. I found a little nest with an egg in it laying in among the berry bushes. Must have been a killdeer. They lay 2-3, and maybe this one was a dud? I certainly hope it wasn't frightened off the nest by pickers, though if it was, with only one egg, she must have had time to set up house over again in a more private place. Enjoy your berries! Hope to see you next time. I'll think about finding a more obvious marker for myself.
