Berry Good

Many people I know, if given a day off during the week, would do normal things like sleep in, go shopping, and generally relax. Sometimes I do this. Last week I found a sale and bought 5 new pairs of work pants (score). But in the summertime, as often as not, I am doing something garden-related or food-related. Like say, driving half an hour out to Green Truck Farm to pick berries, so that I can make fresh fruit jam.

I am not actually very good at taking a day off. You may have noticed that trend. But I actually find it quite relaxing to go pick berries, as long as I am not on a schedule. It's a treasure hunt for beautiful fruit.

 Plus, I make pretty good jam.
