They are currently in between the early-summer raspberry varieties and the late summer varieties. So the raspberries were a little hard to find. We managed one container of them before deciding to move on to the much more abundant blueberries. It took us a little while to find the right part of the patch, but then we found the mother lode: bushes that were so laden you could just sit on the ground next to one bush and pick hundred of plump, ripe berries. Charlotte probably ate almost as many as we picked.
Back at the farm store we bought some cider donuts and a raspberry turnover to enjoy before the trip back home.
When we got home we planned to go to the pool for a bit. Our neighbors had just returned home from a week of vacation at the beach and decided to join us. When it was time to leave the pool we decided to keep the party going with dinner at our house. We put together an impromptu spaghetti feast. Then the kids settled down watching "The Incredibles" and the adults got to hang out.
Scott and Karen and Carol and I got to enjoy our living room! Carol has been working on painting and arranging it and it's now usable. Thank you, Carol!
We really lucked out in the neighbors department. We feel very welcome and among like-minded people.
