YUM!

One thing I love about going to Washington is the fresh berries that are everywhere. We decided to go berry picking while we were in Seattle. We had lots of fun picking them at a U-pick farm.  The only problem was we had to search hard because there weren't too many berries left at the farm. We had great fun but wished we had time to pick more. On our way home from berry picking we stopped by the house my husband grew up in. As we slowly drove up the gravel road to his house we noticed there were fresh wild raspberries everywhere on the side of the road. We scurried out of the car and started picking. We picked the same amount of berries that took us an hour to pick at the berry farm in 15 minutes on the side of the road. I couldn't believe how many berries there were with no one to pick them!! Genise and I made 22 tubs of raspberry jam, a raspberry cobbler and we had more berries for just plain eating then we could have hoped for! Yum!
