One great thing we snuck in before the end of the season was strawberry picking. I have heard it is a fun thing to do and we finally did it – us and the cicadas. During the month of May there was an attack of cicadas in at least the Nashville area. We starting hearing horror stories weeks before they arrived about the dead shells covering the ground, they come out every 13 years or something. Anyway, it was like the plague in certain areas and the strawberry patch was one of them. The sound of these bugs was so loud in the trees that you almost had to cover your ears. But we found areas where we were safe from the bugs and we picked some strawberries. It was hot, but it was a good experience. The girls were impressed that fruit really came from fields like that and we came home with a bucket full of fresh strawberries.
