blackberries

went to the farm this afternoon to pick blackberries.
in the 100+ degree weather.
it was fun :-)
no, really, it was!

sawyer's bucket ALWAYS looked like this.
i would pick a handful, put it in his bucket, and the next time i looked it was always empty!
the proof was in his diaper later this evening...

can you tell we are still relaxed?
and moving slow?
listening to each other.
and looking at each other's eyes...

i know i've been a little "quiet" here...lots of pictures, not that many words.
don't worry...they are coming :-)

we had a bunch of blackberries and strawberries with our bbq chicken for dinner.
and enough leftover to make a blackberry pie tomorrow!


whew! glad we brought LOTS of water!
