It's berry pickin' time!

6/6/2015

Some might say I am teaching my children foraging skills as maybe their palettes are not accustomed to "country fresh" foods, but here we like to eat fresh.  How much fresher can you get then mulberries straight from the tree?  Wild strawberries fresh from the ground? We have at least 2 mulberry trees on our property that bountifully supply these fun little delectables when the kids are out playing.  And, if you look closely enough you may find wild strawberries galore too!

It is so neat to me that my children can be outside having fun and go on a spontaneous berry hunt.  I had to snap some photos as I overheard the conversation between 3 of my children.  

My 11 y/o was pretending that they were living "in the olden days" and that they (she and her brothers) could only eat what they could grow on thier own land...hence the mulberry snacks!  I love the imaginations and my 3 y/o kept asking if he could eat "all the berries"  too funny!  Makes a person think back though, there was a day not too long ago that there were not Walmarts and chain grocery stores to run to for your food.  You had to make, grow and pick what you wanted to eat.  If you think back too I believe there were a lot fewer people with health problems back then too.  So, this is the kind of fun I will continue to encourage!
