Wild Berry Season

I love being able to enjoy the bounty of the land, and with berry season in full swing, the kids have the bug too.  They collected milk bottles to tie around their waists and use for picking buckets, and then they begged to go across the road.  It was kinda late, but why not?!20150715BerryPicking-16This little one, was all about the eating.20150715BerryPicking-1920150715BerryPicking-2020150715BerryPicking-21So these things are called Saskatoons.  They are sorta like a blueberry, but much more mealy, so people cook them up a bit or put them in a pie.20150715BerryPicking-23And wild raspberries….yum!20150715BerryPicking-4020150715BerryPicking-4320150715BerryPicking-46More Mum!
