In keeping with the mandates of the Litchford Year of Bliss (which encompasses Sean’s first year of life, Danielle’s year of educational leave from the Navy, and my year of writing-unfettered-by-a-horrible-desk-job), the Litchfords went strawberry picking yesterday.
The weather forecast threatened storms that never came. It was a beautiful day.
Danielle did most of the picking, because…
I had a passenger. Sean and I managed to pick about a pint of berries ourselves, and Danielle picked the rest of the four quarts we came home with. Today, the mission is to make strawberry preserves.
Postscript: The title of the post is a reference to Coldplay’s newest album Viva la Vida which we are enjoying immensely. While we’ll always have a special place in our hearts for their first album, Parachutes this one is far and away their most ambitious and musically satisfying album to date.
