This morning we went raspberry picking. There is a u-pick patch just outside of Victor on the way to Pine Creek Pass. The Russell clan joined us. After an initial lesson of what and how to pick, the patch owner sent us down the rows. It reminded me of hiking because soon the kids clustered together in different groups, talking about everything under the sun as they picked. It was a very mild morning and the picking was relatively easy, so conversation flowed. Throughout the morning different groups of kids and adults formed, chatted, broke up among the rows, formed again and talked more. At the end of the morning we had picked almost 3 flats (gallons) of berries and solved the problems of the world. After a stop at the library and an Emporium milk shake, we drove home.
