Pick a winner

RASP

Earlier in the week I had the day off from work and nothing very exciting to do, so I headed over to Linvilla for some raspberry picking.  The picking was...not great.  The guy at the Pick Your Own stand said they had gotten picked over pretty quickly, but if I was willing to put in the time and search deep into the briars, I might be able to get a good haul.  In the end, I walked away with half a flat of raspberries (and scratched arms)...but it took forever to find them.

Raspberry picking closed a few days after that for ripening.

Today Linvilla opened their yellow cherry trees for picking, but they expect to be picked out today, as well.  Blueberries opened today, as well - and I’ll probably try to get over there early Sunday morning for that.  I could eat blueberries until I turn into one, I love them so much.

Raspberries will reopen tomorrow, and strawberry picking is still going on (and is, apparently, excellent).
