Look at these berried treasures, fresh picked off my raspberry canes not 10 minutes ago. Several found their wicked way to my lips, and, oh! such rapture! Sweet, sun-warmed globes of crimson glory.
I've been reading a lot of Northern Hemisphere blogs and envying their winter Christmas preparations - warm fires, egg nog, lights, family activities, etc, etc, etc. But those things just can't compare to fresh raspberries, just-mown lawns, ham and mustard sandwiches and ice-cold beer. Envious? I hope so.
I suppose I miss out on a lot of the fun and excitement Christmas brings because I don't have children. Sigh. But then, I don't have to share my precious bounty with ANY ONE - AH HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Raspberries are my favourite. I pick them in the Summer and freeze them to use in my Christmas trifle. I'm really the only one who is keen on trifle, so I have a great time! These do look delicious -yum.
I didn't know you had a raspberry plant!!! I'm so jealous. Oh the mess my kids would make with those! Samantha would sneak down and eat them straight from the bush!
