THIS, is Mr. Thinker.  He looks REAL enthused doesn't he?  It's another excursion I got him into and yet, it wasn't good enough.  I had to get my mother involoved in my schemes as well.  I'm known for coming up with fun and exciting adventures and won't tell a soul about them until we get there.  THIS TIME though, I warned the both of them that we'd be going to a delightful outing to pick berries.  They had warning, LOTS of warning!

Hunny, the berries won't hurt you dear, we need to pick up speed so we can get to the blueberries before it storms.  Eww, Ouchie, that one must have hurt alittle.  Sorry dear! 

The above picture is Mr. Thinker enjoying the wide open spaces of Black Raspberry picking while smelling a deep, STRONG scent of Cow Manure.  One CANNOT grow a good harvest of berries without fertile soil ya know!Oh!  Look what I found!!!  Look, Hurry everyone!!  As doug rushes over thinking I've hurt myself and mom gathers her quart of berries being VERY careful not to drop the big ones she's been picking. 

I found a Robins nest I said, Isn't it beautiful?!  Yes, but could you have been a bit more calm about it Mr. Thinker says as my mother giggles knowing the littlest things excite me.

Here they are, Black Raspberries.  Your probably wondering why I'm showing just the raspberry bushes with no picture of mom and I insight.  Well, As I was trying to take a picture undetected, of my moms natural berry-picking state, she caught me and dropped ALL the HUGE berries it took her over an hour to find.  At that moment, I dropped the camera to help.  This is the way my mother gets out of picture taking time.

Our blueberry excursion got us two quarts and then lightening came in our picking field.  We ran for the car and left. No pictures, but I'll never forget it.  Neither will my husband and mother.

Another day excursion with Rebekah!  Expect the unexpected.  If you thought you were going one direction, I'll take you on a whole new expedition in another direction.  It's just the way I am, and I love EVERY minute of it!
