Wild rasberry time again…

July 14th, 2009

Mid-July is a great time around our place. The wild (black) rasberries which grow all over woods on on our lot are coming into season. The kids love this. They just walk around, pick ‘em and eat ‘em at will. It’s the one kind of snacking all day we don’t mind. It’s natural and full of vitamin C.  Plus with all the rain, I have to admit they are very very yummy this year.  That’s if you can get past the brigade of mosquitos that seem to be guarding the rasberries. 

Yesterday, Zuri grabbed a quart ziplock baggie and filled it up just walking the trails through our woods. I’m pretty sure he ate as much as he stored in the baggie as he went along. And, that’s just fine by me.

Pretty soon, the tomatoes in the garden will start ripening. Salad time,  oh yeah. 

Oh, and our first batch of home grown rhubarb grew just enough to make rhubarb topping for vanilla icecream dessert. Very yummy, but my wife still won’t let me classify that dish as health food, even if the topping is all natural. ….sigh….
