IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF PICKING!

...OR NOT.

And these conditions have something to do with it...There really shouldn't be puddles in the field when you are going to pick berries.

And we'd rather there wasn't any of this either...

...but it's out there, so we are anxious to get out in the field and start picking it off and throwing it out.

Therefore, we will be celebrating the 4th of July on these:

and gathering up a lot of these:

Woot! Woot!

I guess.

We will have special treats tomorrow, because that's the rule...Treats must be administered to remedy working on the 4th.

Hope it's warm enough for ice cream cake...

By Thursday, it's supposed to turn to summer...really.

I really, really hope so...
