I quickly ran out after breakfast and picked raspberries. OK. I didn't run. It was too hot to run with the humidity the way it was especially having to wear long pants and long sleeves to ward of mosquitoes, deerfly and thorns. Who needs a steam bath out here? Anyway, I've got a system. I pick along one whole side of the driveway and then I pick the other side on my way back to the house. Works great! Unfortunately I failed to take into account the amount of berries that I was picking. By the time I finished picking to the end of the driveway, ready to pick the other side on my return to the house, my bucket was full. I didn't bring a second bucket. Oh well. It had started to rain at that point so I power-walked the 1/2 mile back up the drive to the house. Weather-willing, I'll bring two buckets tomorrow when I pick the raspberries. In the meantime, I've finished cleaning and prepping the raspberries for jam-making and dessert in between loads of laundry. I still have to clean the fish for supper. Maybe I'll see if any fish are biting as the rain has stopped and the sun is back out.
