I picked my first raspberry of the season today

I stood in my raspberry patch and ate it. It was so succulent and juicy. Yum. I savored it since it was the only one ripe. What a wonderful taste of the bounty to come. The raspberries are loaded - it will be a good crop this year.

I think it is also a sign that I am feeling better - I didn't go and get Andy to show it to him or even pick it and take it to him - always Andy first and Mom last. I plucked it and savored it all by myself.

I have no regrets.

I'm glad you enjoyed your first berry.

I think more happiness comes from those moments of true contentment than from all the beautiful surprises in our lives.

We don't have anything ripe yet (well, we ate some broccolli..but that doesn't exactly get ripe. The hubby found a raspberry patch by one of the radio towers he was working on and brought us home a whole bunch of them. I'm trying to convince him to take us all up there to pick a whole lot so I can freeze them and make jam!
