Berries!

We have a row of raspberry bushes in our backyard, and they are ripening in full force now. We are picking about a pound of berries per day! We are trying to keep up with the picking and eating. We've given some away, and made sorbet.

There is one other small bush with little tiny sweet blackberries. Oh, Scott tells me they're black raspberries. In any case they're really cute.

We also had some tiny, fragrant wild strawberries, but they're gone now.

I (Clara) am preparing for a short trip to Berkeley, to work at the synchrotron from Sunday through Tuesday. Then, I'm off to Baton Rouge to visit my dad. Scott is staying home...someone has to pick all those berries!
