Currant Events

The Berries are ripe!!! In our yard we have a gorgeous patch of red currants, black currants, and green and red gooseberries. We picked 4 pounds of ruby red currants, and still have that many more to pick. There are wild cherries trees all over the village. All those pretty flower blossoms turned into yummy cherries ripe for the picking!

There are also wild raspberries to be had, which can be found on the forest path as we walk in the neighborhood. But on a whim, in celebration of berry season, we decided we would stop at the berry patch and self pick some raspberries. They also have currants, gooseberries, and strawberries. What do you do with a bunch of of ripe berries? Stick 'em in a bowl, and just gobble them up! And the best news? Still more to come. The blackberry bushes in the yard are just getting flowers still...
