Just a few things tonight…
~ I picked twelve pounds of raspberries today. If you pick twelve pounds or more at Yellow Hill Farm right now, you get a 30% discount. I have the farm’s link under Gettysburg. There are tons of red raspberries, some gold and also still nice blackberries. Works out to $2.32 a pound. Take your children. There were two little kids picking on the other side of my row. Their mother was not within earshot and they were alternately singing and conversing while they picked. After a few minutes of quiet, I heard little Grace say, “This will be a great memory for me – for years, and years and years.” How astute for someone so young. How could you not smile?
~ I got a bicycle and went for my first ride today, after the berry picking. Had not been on a bike in, oh, about two decades. I didn’t fall off or wreck it so I considered the event a big success. It’s part of my new fitness regimen.
~ Think about donating to the American Red Cross to help hurricane and flood victims – www.redcross.org – doing good every day.
