Day 146 - May 26

Michaela was less than helpful while we were strawberry picking yesterday. It was a lot harder this time around than last time since it's at the very tail end of the season so you have to actually look for the berries. Also, they're smaller than at the beginning of the season, so it takes a lot more of them to fill a bucket.

It also takes a lot longer to fill a bucket when only half of each strawberry makes it into the bucket.

Apparently, amongst her whining and running all over the place, Michaela was eating quite a few of the strawberries. But not the whole strawberry... just a bite. Not wanting to waste the berry, I guess, she put the rest of it into the bucket. We saw a few of them and chucked them while we were at the farm, but quite a few made it back to the house.

Which I didn't realize until I went through the bag tonight and washed and trimmed them all.

This is just smattering of what was in the bag. My guess is that she nibbled on about twenty or so berries, and nicely dropped the leftovers into her bucket.

This is what happens when you don't keep a sharp eye on the three year old while picking strawberries!
