"In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold"

Saturday evening we spent in my friend's raspberry patch. She and her family are away on vacation while the raspberries are on, so we get to pick them for her and eat most of them. Yum! Eating fresh raspberries transports me immediately to my childhood, where I remember sneaking them out of my grandmother's very sacred raspberry patch. She loved raspberries. And I have to agree, because they're amazing freshly picked, or sprinkled over cereal, or sipped with raspberry sherbet and sprite, and hopefully they'll be good in homemade jam.
