The kids took to the yard in search of berries one warm afternoon. Degen found his little bucket and a patch of wild strawberries by the swingset to pick. He was earnest in his work and happy with his harvest, though I cannot imagine that the berries tasted very good. No matter, he popped a few in his mouth and gave appreciative murmurs of their deliciousness!
Kyrie headed back to the mulberry tress and pulled berries from one of the low branches. She did not need a bucket for collection because each ripe berry she found went straight into her mouth!
Degen made his way back to the mulberries as Kyrie headed for the garden where she found our lone ripe raspberry and promptly picked it to pluck in her mouth! That evening, Darren would find our first ripe blueberry and let her have it also. In my mind, I had visions of canned berries, but now I am unsure of how many berries will actually make it past the children!
