A Break

Seeking a breather from hard work around the house -- sorting, packing, holding a garage sale, donating -- I headed out to the country for an afternoon of fresh air, sunshine and raspberries.

It was a glorious day! Nothing but blue skies as far as my eye could see.

I was intent on picking raspberries, but first went to get a closer look at the fields of zinnias. I was sure someone planted them for a reason, otherwise I would have picked myself a bouquet. They were beautiful!

Turning my attention to the raspberries, I was pleased to find bushes teeming with berries. The sweet berries more than made up for my stained fingers.

So pretty! I'm hoping to bake my berries into something delicious, but it's going to require disposable bakeware and a hot oven. With tomorrow's temperature predicted at 90 degrees, I might forget the baking and just continue snacking.
