berries and bikes

i guess this week has been brought to you by the letter B ;-)



the Biggest Blackberries ever Beheld, at Butler farm!  ;-)



three pounds!

plus, the last blueberries of the season

as if that weren't excitement enough, the afternoon featured chloe on her new... bike!  courtesy of craiglist and $15, it fits her just right, after mama took half of it apart to get the chain in the right place =p  contrary to the pictoral evidence, she hasn't been very willing to ride it so far.  the wobble between the training wheels alarms her and she jumps right off.   we did a lot of talking about patience and practice and learning things, but i'm pretty sure she's a grumpy beginner.. just like her mama =p
