This was more in the country though.It is Strawberry season here.They are about $2.99 a lb at Trader Joes here so I knew I was getting a good deal...now I know a great deal. It was our first time. I wore a long flowy skirt and felt all "Little House on the Prairie-ish" <br />I made sure all 4 of my kids(who are under 7 yrs old) were wearing navy blue or red. I guess i myself forgot the memo as I wore my very pale pink flowy skirt and a white T shirt. After we were done and the kids/baby had touched me a million times I looked like I had just slaughtered a hog in that field with my clothes. For real. My 15 month old looked like he was eating...raw pig..i mean he really looked like a vampire..it was crazy. Mind you we are vegetarian so this was extra disturbing. Oh well...I cant wait until apple season in the Fall. Much cleaner picking!<br /><br />I was thinking blueberries in August, but that may make my kids hate me.. Way too tedius. They bailed on the strawberry picking after they ate their fill. except the 2.5 yr old. He was all business. He could have gotten a job there!

Oh and the gallon I gave to our Dr. And the 3 quarts to the neighbors. Oh and strawberry apple oat quinoa bake. Yeah jam may have been easier.

But strawberry jam.. MMMMMM!<br /><br />IN answer to your question on my blog - yes, the Youghiogheny River is at Ohiopyle state park.
