The last of the chipmunk family that lived in the attic. \u00a0The rest have been caught in the live trap and sent to summer camp, a couple miles down the road and across the river. \u00a0When I drive by the tree where they are release, I usually leave some cracked corn for a snack.<\/p>\n

Carl’s\u00a0blueberries are getting ripe. \u00a0I’m picking a few, but hoping that they will just sit on the bushes getting tastier until he gets home in a little over a week. \u00a0I’ll keep sampling them, but as long as they stay firm, I’ll save\u00a0blueberry picking for him.<\/p>\n

For myself, I’m concentrating on the\u00a0raspberry picking. \u00a0The purple ones are starting to ripen faster than I can eat…. which is a lot. \u00a0Ate my fill and filled a quart yogurt container, hanging around my neck on a cord. \u00a0And many, many more still red. \u00a0And there are red Encores ripening to add a bit of color.<\/p>\n

Picked the first of the golden\u00a0raspberries that we planted last year. \u00a0Flavor still a bit tart, but a more solid\u00a0raspberry. \u00a0Now to see how many berries \u00a0I can eat on yogurt. \u00a0 I will freeze the rest. \u00a0And wait for berry sauce canning until Carl is home and there are many berries sitting in the freezer.<\/p>\n
