Picking berries....



Still no word on The House.... still waiting....

So no Thankful Anyway Thursday post, I don't even want to think about the stresses right now..

When we bought this house there were some wild black raspberries on the side of our shed, and we decided to keep them and nurture them a little bit. So we trimmed them and fed them with a little organic fertilizer.

They are coming into season and boy am I glad we kept these guys!! This is their best season out of the last 3 seasons we've had them!! 





There were a ton of ripe berries, so I spent some time picking berries while Roxie hung out in the yard. I left some on the top for the birds, and some on the bottom for the rodents. I of course forgot a bowl, so I used my shirt...



They ended up in a  fruit salad, along with mango, orange, watermelon, grapes, and blueberries.. YUM
