Bugs, Berries & Beans

It was a beautiful day outside today.  Lincoln was eager to show off one of the many giant beetles we have found around our house.  Personally, they're kind of creepy.

We also picked our first handful of raspberries!  After trying for three years to get something going, they have exploded and taken over.  I have fond memories of picking raspberries on Sunday afternoons in July at my grandparents' house and eating them straight from the plants.  None of these raspberries made it into the house, either. :o)

We have also been enjoying a bumper crop of sugar snap peas and beans.  We have eaten some, but shared most with neighbors and friends.
