Summer is a fruitin' in, sing yum woo hoo

[primsong]

One thing about living where I do is the summer is absolutely filled with berries. We could rename it Berryland and it wouldn't be far from the truth!

Picked some strawberries, blueberries are coming in - there's kotata, boysen, marion and tay berries ready to go as well as raspberries in both red and golden. Yum yum. My childhood memories of picking berries and being paid for by the flat are shared by many here.

An artist friend was assigned painting a picture of what summer is to her. She painted a blue sky literally raining berries.

My apple and plum trees are absolutely loaded with fruit for later on as well, hopefully they won't get so fried that they start dropping the green ones because I want to make apple butter this year.

We had both red and golden raspberries in our yard in Wisconsin growing up. I adore golden raspberries! Boysen berries are yummy, too.

Fresh raspberries on ice cream are amazing. Marions are a favorite of mine, they make the bestest cobblers or pies ever, though the wild Himalayan blackberries can be like candy too - their one redeeming characteristic. :-d num num.
