A summer walk...

Tonight we went on a nice long summer night walk. There are a bunch of blackberries along the walk, so we brought a bowl and picked and picked and picked. Mel, Abby, and I got a lot of pricks from the thorns but were able to gather a whole big bowl so that Mel can hopefully make some jelly sometime soon. Maddie sat in her stroller the whole time eating "literally" the fruits of our labors (except for teh time I took her to tinkle behind the stumps). As the CSO (Chief Safety Officer) of the family I kept one eye out for the bears - you never know when one might mistake Abby for a little jack rabbit.

As we walked home, the sliver of the moon was so pretty between the trees. Maddie said "the moon looks so pretty...but it looks like a piece fell off". Very cute, as always.
