Now for the final details… Please read and sign up for the trip! The strawberries were shared with Nanna, Auntie K, Uncle K and Lala at daycare. Papa and the girls enjoyed the clam bake, Baba the fried oyster roll, and I had my once-a-year decadent fried soft shell crab roll. We stopped at our favorite restaurant on our forays to the north shore of Long Island – The Lobster Roll It was a beautiful day in the strawberry patch, despite the clouds that had covered the sky, earlier in the day. My older one carefully examined each berry, picking those that were beautifully red, but small in size. The little one quickly became distracted, and picked wands of dandelion fluff – and I inwardly laughed – my three year old, spreading dandelion seeds as she blew the balls of fluff into the air. Papa zipped through the patch, while Baba carefully filled her basket with perfectly colored, shaped, and sized berries. The next day was an excursion to Golden Earthworm Organic Farm in Jamesport, NY – a farm locally known for their organic CSA offerings in the metro New York area. We carefully brought it into the house, rinsed it, and she and her sister took tiny bites together, savoring the sunny sweetness. My older one excitedly showed me the ripe berry. My girls were excited to see that the strawberry plant in our garden had a ruby colored fruit.
