and baby makes 6!

It's just another day in paradise

Checking my list

I am working my way through the list in my last post, crossing things off as they are done.

I may not have accomplished much on paper, but there was one thing I did today that outweighed anything else. I turned off the computer! and took my daughter to an orchard to pick peaches and blackberries. Totally awesome day. Our lunch consisted of ripe, warm peaches and several huge blackberries. You have never seen such huge berries. Some the size of walnuts! Everything it Texas is super sized.

I got a few pictures, but spent most of the time enjoying the moment and not trying to capture it.

I ended up with a huge box of peaches and 8 1/2 pounds of blackberries. I will be up very early tomorrow making a blackberry cobbler to be warm from the oven when Bill gets home from his shift.

(The difference between a blackberry and a dewberry is that a dewberry is wild, and a blackberry is cultivated from the wild variety to produce large fruit.)
