Looking for Berries…


This evening we went out on a lowbush cranberry scouting trip to see if they were ready. Some were, some weren’t. We only picked a pint or so but it is a pint that we didn’t have before we went out. I think they might be ready next week, we will keep checking.
Everyone enjoyed rambling around outside after four days of school inside.
Judith found some ripe berries.

I am trying to get in front of the camera a little more so the Blessings have some pictures of their Momma.

  2. You actually captured some great fall colors in those shots.

    We had a grand total of 5 low bush cranberries on our property :( But, we did get a decent harvest of raspberries and high bush cranberries. No blueberries though :(

  3. Wow, that is great that they are so close. Teach your kids how to take pictures and give them the camera from time to time. Believe me, they will get you in the pictures, probably not in the poses you want. :)

  4. What great photographs! Looks like your children had fun with their berry picking. What a blessing to have those berry bushes so close to your house. :)
