Summertime! A time for vaca
tions and visits from grandchil
dren. It surely makes a difference
in the activities we do depending
on the ages. Six- and 10-year-olds
can entertain themselves and do
not need the attention that a four
year-old does.
On Sunday afternoon there
were four boys and two fathers.
They played baseball and then
football. It surely made them
hungry. In the evening they caught
some fire-flies and hoped they
would light their bedroom but
they still needed a night-light
This year we have our old black
raspberry bed and also a new
planting. And, Allen has been
picking quite a few. It looks as
though he will have a lot of elder-

berries too. My sister took some
blossoms to nuke a drink from a
recipe that she got when she was
in Europe.. And, we had a friend
who often raved about the deli
cious taste of their big blossoms
when dipped in pancake batter and
so we’ll try that too.
Our yellow raspberries do not
give much fruit Maybe because I
don’t weed them enough. How
ever, they are very sweet The red
raspberries are almost ever-bear
ing as we can expect another crop
this fall.
Whenever we have the oppor
tunity , we always send some of
our garden produce to our children
in other states.
Why do we grow more than we
need?
