First Pickings

Just before dinner while we were waiting for the grill to pre-heat, I went out to check on the vegetable garden and pull a few weeds.  This is what I found... 


 Two days ago I wondered if they would ever ripen.


Tonight in a few minutes I had picked enough for three full bowls (dessert all around) and I didn't even get halfway down the outside edge of the patch. 


Bet you can guess what I'll be doing bright and early tomorrow morning.


Recipe 
Fresh picked Canby raspberries 
a little milk (I used Skim)
bowl and spoon 

But you really don't need the milk;
. or the bowl and spoon.

    Hi Bonnie! I love the new header photo! Your house is VERY beautiful! Yahoo for raspberries grown in the your own garden! I bet they taste like heaven! Sorry about all the exclamation points. Have a great day, Bonnie.

    Yum! Fresh berries are the best. I just made some raspberry mini-pavlovas yesterday with our fresh picked berries. Thanks for sharing yours.

    Yum. I found a simple berry custard recipe today that would be so good with your raspberries.
