raspberries

We have reached that point in every summer where the raspberries begin to bear fruit.  The crops are started, the cultivations done as well as can be, the cattle are in their second grazing rotation, the first crop of hay made and I am daily grazing through the raspberry patch picking through the hollyhock blooms to find the best and juiciest of the lot.  I happen to be the only one in the house that likes raspberries.  For one small reason and for a brief time, life is good!
