Berry picking


The Berry Picking Princess

Finger Lickin' good

K, how about whole hand lickin' good!

Day 2, more berries


Notice the little hand in the corner, who kept grabbing more and more even before they were dry from washing

My next door neighbor who moved but hasn't sold their old house invited me to pick all her rasberries and strawberries because they were just going to waste otherwise. So a few days ago with Ella strapped in the Baby Bjorn we went a pickin'. After a couple of minutes Lily was done, but resigned to be my official basket holder, which maybe wasn't such a good idea because about 3/4 of the berries were gone before we even got them home. But, mmmmm so worth the little prickly thorns I got to retrieve them. And I am determined to get some bushes of my own as soon as I can afford to. P.S. This video was funny because she said to me look mom, "Rrrrrum Punch!" after tasting one, which in case you didn't know is from Mary Poppins when she gives the children their cough medicine and it turns different flavors. And she kept calling them blueberries. She cracks me up, that kid!
