Since Mark didn't get to come to Maine with us, he wanted to do something special with Frances (and me, I'm sure) when we got back to Massachusetts. "Special" to Mark often means Russell Orchard in Ipswich, MA, for berry picking and ice cream.
We checked in on the farm animals and then...
...headed out to the picking fields for some strawberries.
That's a strawberry in Frances's hand. Can you tell?
Here's Frances on the prowl.
And here's Frances not so much on the prowl anymore. Like Sal, she planted herself in one spot and worked from there for quite a while. It was pretty hot in that field, especially after our chilly week in Maine.
Finally, we had some respite from the heat. A little ice cream (well, a lot of ice cream) and...
...some swishing. Frances is always up for some swishing, God help us.
Strawberry shortcake for dinner! (Anybody get the reference? Anybody?)

ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see Frances is getting some use out of those crocs
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. She uses the crocs daily. Her school in fact requires that her shoes cover her toes so her crocs have been a life saver, or a toe saver, I should say. The school has quite a few rules.
