This morning was the perfect morning to pick strawberries. After last nights storms the weather had become much cooler. My friend Karen, and her daughter, Sarah, joined the boys and I in a drive to Verbena. What a beautiful drive it was. The side roads were sprinkled with farm stands and antique stores. The town of Verbena had the most picturesque little homes and a church with a white steeple. According to the signs it was a town built as a haven for those who were avoiding the plague of yellow fever. Apparently the wealthy of Montgomery built their summer homes here. We picked strawberries at Sugar Hill. The baskets were $8 each, and the strawberries were beautiful. It took about 5-10 minutes to pick a bucket. They have a wonderful set up there. On the way home we ate at the Smokin' S in Wetumpka, which apparently used to be the town's bait shop:) Wonderful BarBQ sandwiches and fudge. What a refreshing morning and a lovely visit with my sweet neighbor!
