This was a day we went berry (dewberry and blackberry) picking in our yard. They grow wild. Little Rosie above was our official taste tester and unofficial task master of work-holding her stick pointing as if to say, "Get back to work picking those berries for me, there are some right over there. " Not sure how many of the ones she picked made it to the bowl. She had evidence all over her on how hard she worked. But she sure did enjoy the fruits of her labor.
Here older siblings Joshua and Gabrielle show her how it is done or are they just following orders? :D Joshua looks very intent at the berries he picked in his hands as if contemplating whether to add them to the bowl or eat them. MMMMMM...they sure look good and so they were.
Checking what is in the bowl. And what a bounty we had. A total of 5 cups. And there could have been more but we avoided the last patch as the kids were pretty done with picking and I was worried that I had seen a black widow's web in among the berries. And with 3 lil ones to keep track of it made me a bit nervous so we passed those ones by and left them for the wild life in our yard to enjoy.
Not only were berries found that day but Joshua, I think was more excited by the snake skin he found. From head to tail. Put it in a plastic bag for safe keeping. Oh the wonders of nature. And we have a lot to enjoy and explore that is for sure.
