and when we arrived at the farm, our spirits could not be dampened.
As Farmer Hanson gave his welcome speech, the rain stopped and sun tried to come out. 
After his speech was done it was time for strawberry shortcake made by Mrs. Hanson!
Eating strawberry shortcake is serious business.
And for those who are not fans of strawberries (David), you can have just cake and whipped cream!
The girls were thrilled to be back at the farm.
They truly are country girls, and really would love it if we had like 10 acres of land and lots of animals.
After we were done with our shortcake, Farmer and Mrs. Hanson invited everyone to pick a quart of berries to kick off the new CSA season. Every week we are fortunate enough to have a U Pick portion to our CSA (and a flower share too). Some weeks it's strawberries, some weeks it's snap peas or raspberries or cherry tomatoes.
It's always so fun to get in the fields and gather something to add to our bags. 
The above sign says it all! Let the new CSA season begin! We are super excited to pick up our first bag this Tuesday!
If you don't have a CSA share we highly recommend tying it out. You'll be glad you did, and so will your local farm family. To find a CSA near you check out Local Harvest.
Sleep well, dear friends.
We'll see you tomorrow.
