Today was a beautiful day for picking. Not too warm, no humidity... it was great. It's much more fun to go with a friend. Alice and I was talking so much, it didn't feel like we were out there for three hours. The bushes were vicious, however, and both Alice and I have scratches all over our arms.
The plan was to work on the quilt but it didn't happen. Between napping, working on more boxes, a party at a friends and raspberries, there wasn't time for quilting. I've got two boxes about halfway done but I need more elastic before I can complete them. This is the third box from last week:
Beautiful berries!
I'd planned all kinds of yarn-related activities yesterday, but we got bushwhacked by 3 gallons of elderberrries...

Hi, Gayle!
Three gallons!? Wow! What did you make with them? I haven't picked elderberries in a long time. Of course, I don't live in the country anymore.

Oh my goodness - those raspberries look delicious! Yum!
The only kind we can get here are shipped in from CA and it just doesn't taste the same.
