Come what may, I want to run.: Saturday was a Sweet Day to pick Strawberries

Sweet Berry Farm. Marble Falls, Texas

For years I obsessed with going to this sweet, little farm nestled in Marble Falls. Years passed. The desire to go lingered in my heart. My Facebook feed would be filled with fellow homeschool families, co-op groups that made the trip every year.

STRAWBERRIES. SWEET STRAWBERRIES.

When Emily was a baby she loved to eat strawberries. Days later we would notice her cheeks were red and she would have a rash. She loved eating them and she didn't stop. The allergy soon went away and now a vibrant 15 year old, she can eat all the strawberries she wants without causing her a rash. Our fourth child Hazel would enjoy them as well but this little girl never developed an allergy or a rash to them so everyday since she was 6 months old I bought her a pint of strawberries. Every morning, afternoon and sometimes as a late night snack, Hazel would gobble them up.
Avocados, Strawberries and Bananas were her absolute favorite.

And so, I woke up one morning and decided to head out to Marble Falls. We went on a Saturday. There were heavy rains the days before and the day we went turned out to be a beautiful day to pick strawberries. Afterwards we ate at BlueBonnet Cafe. Zach loves home cooked food. We even took a Lemon Meringue pie home.
