alibaliI'm trying to do better at updating.
We went raspberry and blackberry picking today and it was lovely but super hot. We only picked for about an hour and ended up walking out with less than a lb of berries. This is all because Ziva apparently loves blackberries and raspberries and probably ate about a pound herself while walking around picking. I was trying to teach her the difference between ripe and unripe and show her how the ripe ones just slide off into your hand very easy.
She's 14 months old, she didn't really understand that concept and was kinda pissed off when she'd try to bit into a super unripe berry. Either way it was a nice time
We also picked up a bushel of tomatoes. I did that last year and I really wanted to again. Apparently, this will be our yearly family tradition haha So we have a ton of tomatoes, a ton of jalapeno peppers, basil, fresh mozzarella, peaches, parmesan cheese, bananas (no, those were not locally grown), broccoli, corn, and this giant squash that is taller than Ziva but was only 1.50 so I couldn't walk away from it.
Even with all the fresh deliciousness in the house, we're totally going out to a sushi buffet for dinner tonight. I'm totally okay with that :)
