Strawberries and Spring

On a Wednesday afternoon: bright spring sun and a glorious strawberry harvest! Since Randy and Heather's place in Stellenbosch is literally next door to a strawberry farm - Polkadraai Farm Stall, we spent a leisurely 30 minutes picking and easily filled our buckets. And hey, yeah, that's Jul actually bending over to pick - evident improvement for my back!


For some reason in this field there are numerous scarecrows, which you just see a few of in the background. Not sure if this is to keep away certain birds or just to give a smile (or grimace) to the pickers.

Heather made her delicious Italian Creme Cake for the occasion and we proceeded to consume large amounts of cake and strawberries. (yeah for the cravings of a pregnant woman...)
