The past couple of days I have had this whooshing vertigo going on in my head. It was driving me nuts and making me nauseous. I spent yesterday wallowing and today decided to get the endorphins moving. Off to pick strawberries. There is something to be said for picking strawberries in 55 degree windy weather with a steady mist falling. You don't get hit by bugs, you don't sweat and you don't get a sunburn.
I had never picked berries before and had never been to a berry picking farm. This place is beautiful and made me feel a ton better. I intended on picking one ice cream pail full only but ended up with three of them. After I was done picking I took the camera out.
Pickers in their rows. Everyone has their own row or rows to pick.

Fresh berries are unbelievably red on the vines. There is no reason to pick anything but the most ripe berries as there are so many.
Not only do they have berries galore but beautiful flower gardens as well.
And a picturesque barn.
And a pond below the pines.
Yup Lunemann's Luney Berries Farm, a great place to get the endorphins moving. I drove into the place feeling sorry for myself and wanting to cry. I drove out refreshed with a smile that lasted the rest of the day.
