On a whim, Chloe and I went raspberry and blueberry picking today. Eventhough Chloe would say she prefers eating raspberries to blueberries it didn't take her long to figure out that she preferred picking blueberries to raspberries once she met the scratchy raspberry bushes.
We went to the same U-Pick farm we went to in June. When we went in to the farm store to tell them that we were going to pick berries, they handed us around 8 containers for the berries. Chloe was determined to fill everyone with berries. It was hot and we managed to fill 2 of the containers in 45 minutes--one with blueberries and one with raspberries.
We had grand plans of picking berries and making jam. To get enough raspberries I would be out picking for hours. Going out and picking your own truly makes you appreciate the sweat equity that goes into farming.
