Raspberry Time!

Don't those look YUMMY!?! That's because they ARE! I think red raspberries are probably my favorite fruit....if I had to pick just one. When I was a girl my Mama Nicks had rows and rows of blackberries and raspberries. I have such found memories of picking from her garden and popping them into my mouth. Mmmmmm! And then her fresh cobblers...hot and fresh from the oven with vanilla ice cream on top. Nothing like it! I miss my Mama Nicks!!

So, on Friday I took Gracie and Isaac and we picked red raspberries. I found a red raspberry farm in VanBuren county. It was a bit of a drive, but we had a great time! We just might have to make this a yearly venture. :)

I have never seen so many raspberries growing in one location! Wow! And they were all covered, so it rained that morning and we did not get wet while picking. Fancy! ;)

It was such a happy and carefree day! I love summer!! When we got home we made some raspberry jam. YUM! I've made a lot of strawberry jam, but never raspberry. It is very yummy! We have been eating a lot of biscuits for breakfast. ;) The jam is so pretty too in the jar don't ya think? I do! :)

And then I made this raspberry pie for a special treat while we watched the first night of Olympic competition. GO TEAM USA! Never made a raspberry pie before either. It wasn't Mama's raspberry cobbler, but close! YUM! Did I mention I like red raspberries. lol!

I think it's time to make the biscuits. Better scoot! Love, Wendy
