Today we went berry picking! I've never been berry picking before, so I was pretty excited about the thought. Julius and I had a great time. The rasberries weren't ripe, so we picked blackberries and blueberries instead...and I realized something. Not only had Julius never eated a blackberry or blueberry before...but I never had a blackberry before either!And quite honestly, I don't think I ever tried a blueberry either. Something or someone told me once that I didn't like them, so I avoided them. Well let me tell you... THEY ARE YUMMY!!! I think I prefer blackberries though. Julius liked them better too.
Oh he was so cute! This boy was covered in berry juice. He gobbled so many berries up! I never had offered him any berries before because the child hates strawberries, and Josh is allergic to black cherries... so I thought, with all the allergies my son has, let's try to avoid the berries for awhile But then my friend Nicole told me that black cherries were in a totally different category than berries, so I went ahead and drove over to the orchard and we HAD SO MUCH FUN!
I wish my camera was working. There would have been some great pics.
International Nights
It's been nine weeks in lockdown and we were getting tired of the same food...the kids wanted something different. So thanks to Google E...

that's so wonderful, julieta! what a fun excursion. and we have a small blueberry bush and TONS of blackberries in our yard... now i know what to use as bait to lure you guys down here... :)
I was going to suggest if you have a big enough yard to put in some bushes. Blackberry, boysenberry and raspberry. Get a mature bush, two years old and thornless so you don't get poked. Check for sweet varieties.
Oooh, Amy, Julius will be in your backyard often then! LOL
Gillian, that's a good idea! I'll have to look into it. Blackberries are sooo good`:)
