succulent & sweet black raspberries





Gorgeous black raspberries are thick in the forest. Their thorny sweet bushes tangle themselves in the thick heat of July, lying in wait for the children's hands to pluck them from their stems. They are plentiful this year.



I love seeing the kids performing the ancient ritual of berry gathering. I hope they always remember this!

Thank you, lol. Thank you also for your nice comment on my blog. You're right, I do have a sweetie.
I looked again at your jewelry website. Wow, I am not exaggerating, that has got to be the prettiest stuff I'f ever seen. Normally, I don't like jewelry unless it's meaningful, and since yours is SO meaningful, maybe that's why I like it.
