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.

Levi took pictures most of the time we were out.
Benjamin likes a ride through the brush.
Finding a few more ripe berries, lots of past their prime blueberry bushes.
See that house? That is our house, these berries have been this close for all these years and I am just finding them…shame on me.

That's awesome!!! Berry picking is good exercise. You live in an amazing place.
ReplyDeleteYou actually captured some great fall colors in those shots.
ReplyDeleteWe 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 :(
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. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat 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. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you have berries close by to pick! Love your pictures too and good for you on getting in front of the camera! Thanks for the links you sent me too! I really appreciate both of them!
