Strawberry Harvest

Last friday, Andrew and I went and did our first pick of the season for strawberries at Jones' in Shelton.  Since Andrew worked there last year,  I had somewhat of an expert as a picking buddy and even though it was still considered "early picking" we filled up one of the large baskets in no time at all.  It was a beautiful day out so it was nice to spend some time outdoors and for those of you who haven't been to Jones' yet, it's a great experience any time throughout the year whether you are picking Christmas trees, pumpkins or berries because the scenary is beautiful and you get to spend some quality time becoming one with mother nature (yes, you read correctly...those words actually came out of my mouth.  See this is what happens when you work in the concrete jungle of New York City).
