I am linking up with Megan on this warm day for her series of Sometimes and Always. We got a heat wave here last weekend and so we went on our annual berry picking adventure. The place where we go {It’s tradition} is south and near to coast so it was cooler than being at home!
Sometimes: I think I’ll just eat one more
Always: yeah right…what was I thinking?
Sometimes: I make myself pick
only the blackest of blackest berries
Always: That takes too long and
I end up with a few red ones
Sometimes: I dream of what I’ll make and other times I decide to figure
it out later
Always: I know there is deliciousness coming soon
Sometimes: I think ‘we’ll go home right away and make jam!’
Always: It is way too hot. We’ll make jam…soon
Sometimes: I talk with friends or my momma as we pick berries
Always: It is way more fun to listen to other people. They say the funniest things {out of context
of course}
Sometimes: I think that berry picking is easy and not dangerous
Always: I come home with some
scraps; those bushes have some sharp thorns!
This is one
of my favorite summer traditions and it helps that it tastes yummy too! I used to come home covered in berry juice,
but I’ve tamed my ways and look more presentable afterwards these days!
Hope you are
enjoying summer!
Oh my gosh, I always try the "this is the last one" or the "no more" thing hahah.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alyssa! so true... :)
DeleteWe used to pick berries every summer while camping haha and I everytime I would swear up and down that I was not gonna come back with cuts and scrapes from the bushes! I never won that battle though :)
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing with eating just one more.. I think it was passed down to me from my mom! =) I am your newest follower. Check out my post if you get a chance. Amber
