A Fall Tradition


Today was apple picking day, a family tradition since D was born. Although we go home with bags overflowing with apples, the day is really about being outside amidst the foliage-filled trees, letting the kids run around burning off their boy-energy in a safe, fun environment. I was happy to see that there was one row of raspberry bushes still producing deep red, juicy berries. My favorite berry, if not my favorite fruit. Just look at how delicious that looks!! D found it (pictured above) and decided he HAD to eat it, right then and there. It was too perfect to save for later. I think I need to adopt that attitude about many things in life. I find there's always so much being "saved for later". Why wait for the future when you can savor the moment at hand?? Go ahead, eat the raspberry :).
