My son's best friend offered to pick some berries for me today. My own two were uninterested. So after supplying him with an ice cream bucket and a shoulder strapped carrier, and spraying him down with repellent he headed to the side of the house.
The mosquitoes were vicious this last week. The latest hatch are large, numerous and persistent. We have had so much rain. Our basement flooded a little. It was enough to require that we replace the flooring and the gyproc. That is getting off topic.
So my berry picker returned to the house to continue playing Wii or walking the neighbours dog with my son. And then he went home.
I had forgotten about the berries until I noticed them sitting in the bucket on the kitchen table. Raspberries and ripe big saskatoons mixed together. It was getting late on this holiday Monday and we dont have any ice cream or yogurt but I rinsed them and we ate them as is. Oh yum!
A reminder for me when the mosqitoes are thick, the waters threaten to overwhelm, "Slow down and taste the raspberries and the saskatoons." We get by with a little help from our friends. Thanks, dude.
