5:59 am - Alarm goes off.
5:59:10 am - Snooze button. Husband pops out of bed to work out. Hmph. Overachiever.
6:07 am - Alarm goes off. Decent song. One foot, two feet on the floor. S-t-r-e-t-c-h.
6:10 am - Brush teeth. Shower. Make-up. Clothes. (Shh. Baby still sleeping.)
6:30 am - Figure the hair can air dry. Grab a bowl and head out to pick raspberries in the backyard garden for my morning yogurt.
6:35 am - Pick lots and lots of raspberries. Figure it's better me picking them than letting the birds get at 'em.
6:45 am - Sweet summer raspberry breakfast bliss. Imagine that someday I might harvest enough raspberries to put up a few pints of jam, but realize my fingers won't stop dipping into the raspberry bowl. Resign myself to the fact that I'm a fresh raspberry glutton and decide to relish and savor this annual bounty.
Precious little red gems. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletea raspberry bush is just one of those things I want to have in my garden!
ReplyDeleteWhat a luxury ... fresh-picked raspberries! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is always a great read ... you are now moving into the realm of the sublime. And I can say I read it way back when :)
We are definitely spoiled in the raspberry dept! Marianne, you are just the sweetest - and I can tell you are a poet. "Realm of the sublime," I'm savoring that phrase. :)
ReplyDeleteOk, so I haven't been back for awhile, and now I'm really wondering what my problem was...I love it here!
ReplyDeleteI am on a mission to get the hubs to put in some raspberries in the back of our future shed. Do you have problems with them sprouting up in your lawn? Are they pokey or not noticeable? These are things that my lawn-obsessed husband is wondering...
Lyz, hello! Missed u! :) Our raspberries are in the midst of the garden, so no lawn issues, but after they are established they do spread. They've actually spread alot this year into my tomatoes and squash, to the point that I'm pulling some out. They are ugly prickly bare sticks in the winter, but if you could find a section of yard in a corner, it's so fun to go out and pick those little jewels in July/Aug. Good luck, and if you're in Bis and want to dig up some baby rasp sprouts from our garden, just let me know!
