We all love berries...don't we live in the perfect spot for that?! - Sauvie Island is less than a thirty minute drive away, and picking berries is just so much outdoor fun. The kids, and the mothership (as I have been calling myself today) love it. Anyways, in June we already went Strawberry picking. I ended up making six jars of jam which is quite delicious. Mia Rose is the absolute Strawberry nut...she loves them so much. She basically sat in the field eating one berry after another...Alena of course also loves Strawberries but is not quite as crazy about them. Alena did throw berries in the basket and not just into her mouth ;)
July brings Raspberries and Blueberries. Today was our day to go back to Sauvie Island. Just the girls and me. What fun we had. We first picked Blueberries, which is another of Mia Roses favorites, and then moved on to the Raspberries. The farm we go to has these great carts, so by the time we were at the Raspberries the girls stayed in the cart cuddled in their blanket, eating cookies while the mothership picked Raspberries, dropping the occasional one into their mouths. Funny enough, Alena is a Raspberry nut. Mia Rose likes them but she definitively would not sit in the dirt just to eat them :))). In total we had 12 lbs. of berries and yes, we will be back as Marionberries, and Blackberries are yet to come. Plus can one ever have enough Blueberries? Here is a link to the farm we like to go to http://sauvieislandfarms.com/
So there is really not one point I am trying to make. Maybe one. - When I first read through the documentation on foods and saw that it also included Blueberries I was so, so very sad. Well, here we are five years later, two girls with CG, both with great levels, no issue, and both are total Blueberry lovers. OK the point? Its not all black, and its not all white...and the glass is always, always, always half full...
