Fruit Filled Summer: Explorer Sara

Hello all you lovely Lazy Explorers readers! Sara here from Swing The Day Away. I come bearing photos of my recent trip to the orchard!

A few weekends ago, one of the local orchards had a strawberry festival and of course, I had to go! There were fresh strawberry shortcakes, food tastings, and other festivities to take part in. I mostly just did the food samplings and then went strawberry picking, though because let's face it...who doesn't love free food samples?

Strawberry picking can be pretty tough...especially in a dress. You have to crouch low to the ground (which kills your thighs), or kneel in the dirt. I ended up just kneeling because I didn't want to accidentally give everyone in the strawberry field a peep show. It was a little windy too, which did not help matters.

The strawberries were so good, as fresh fruit always is. I only picked a small little carton of them and ate them as a snack. I would've liked to pick more and baked something with them, but I just don't have the time for all that lately with grad school kicking my butt!

Of course, I had to wear my strawberry dress while strawberry picking, despite how short it may be. And since this is a fruit themed post, I decided to wear my apple necklace too! Strawberries and apples are a couple of my favorite fruits and I think they'd go well together. Maybe I'll invent some sort of appley-strawberry dessert someday. :)
