As we left the house for our morning walk, we saw quite a few robins in and around the garden.  They were there for one thing and one thing only--the strawberries.  John walked toward the garden hoping to scare them off, but the robins stood their ground.  He started shouting and waving his arms, and finally they moved back a little bit.  It looked like an old western with the garden being a wagon train and the robins surrounding it, waiting to attack.  As soon as we returned home, we grabbed a couple of buckets and picked all the ripe strawberries.  With the warmer, sunny days, the berries are ripening pretty fast so we'll have to pick everyday to beat the birds to the berries.  


Following breakfast, John headed up to Matt's to split more of the wood he cut.  He split for a couple of hours until the rains returned and forced him to quite for the day.  I continued working on the new computer installing more software and transferring some files and photos.  This afternoon we made our first batch of strawberry jam and processed the berries picked this morning so they are ready to be made into jam. We were short about 1 cup so we need to wait until we pick more berries tomorrow.  


We took several breaks this afternoon to watch the PGA US Open.  John and I both were craving pizza, so I ran into town and picked one up for supper.  Our evening was pretty quiet--just watch a little TV and worked some more on the computer.
