This morning was great. We went berry picking: they had black, red and yellow raspberries. Each type has a different flavor-black is my favorite. Then I picked up my CSA. They had sugar snap peas, tons of greens, and young summer squash. I've also been shelling and eating peas all day, since they harvested a bunch on the farm. It feels so great to be outside in the beautiful weather, using my hands to gather food for myself, and eating it fresh from the source. This is the great benefit of living in upstate NY. Sometimes I'm very homesick, but I also appreciate the natural beauty here.

I'm also learning a lot about the weeds here, plants you see everywhere. Plants make my heart sing.
