Wild by the handful
wild by the handful all day long
Berry season is in full swing around here!
and more berries into the evening
Remember cootie?

  4. What great summer fun! I've never seen a firefly, thank you for including a photo, they really do light up quite bright...amazing insect!?!
    We've been enjoying summer berries and beaches. Stop over for our naturally sweetened strawberry jam recipe! It's really captures the taste of summer!
