ooooooooo! get on the bus to texas, joanna, but make a detour to new york. i'll meet up with you this june and take you wild berry picking on Owego Hill!! wild blackberries, blackcaps and raspberries too. yum.
:)
who needs a garden patch of berries when you can climb a hill, catch a glimpse of the white tails bounding through the forest and find your best berry patches surrounding the dilapidated stone foundation of a homestead erected 200 years ago.!!
i'm working on more nostalgia than carl can muster in a lifetime with this post!!
smooches,
kelley
