We took part in a tour lead by Leroy and Lois on Wednesday to the Salman Ranch were we picked raspberries. I think it was a case of pick one, eat two or three. So tasty! As it had been raining on our way to the ranch, the raspberries were freshly washed. We all came away with a better understanding as to why berries are so expensive to buy at the market.
Our bounty - 3 1/2 pounds of raspberries:
We have been having a lot of rain lately. We've been told that September is one of the best months to be here as the weather is usually wonderful. Not so much this year it seems. We have been here three weeks now and every day it has rained; some days more than others. I just wish some of this moisture could make it over to Texas where they need it so badly.
Speaking of Texas, we are happy to report that both of Rick and Y's children's homes were not harmed by the recent fire in Bastrop. We are so happy/relieved for them but feel for the ones that lost everything. Seeing the aftermath of the fire on the news is simply heartbreaking.
John helped Rick with replacing the pump in their washing machine yesterday. We were told it was quite the chore and rather challenging to work on in the small bathroom. Y and I wisely went to the rec room and put a puzzle together leaving the guys to do their thing.
The evenings have been spent playing Pegs and Jokers in the rec room. There are four couples playing and we have been having a good time. So far, the gals are behind but another night like tonight (gals won 2 out of 3 games) and we can get caught up.
We're sure the berries were delicious and worth the work. Great picture! It's been dry in Prescott, although this is supposedly their rainy season. Good news on the Texas fires. Glad you are having fun in Eagle Nest.
