Nature Walks, Wild Berries and PIE!!

This summer we have been out almost every day on nature walks around our house.  We go for an hour or so and find adventures in nature.  I get the sneaking suspicion that mommy is just trying to get us tired out befre nap or bed, but truthfully....we get lots of exercise, vitamin D and most always discover fantastic things in nature.  Some days we might follow a flock of wild turkeys out for their evening dinner stroll....or watch a kitty cat as he hunts for gophers....or explore the different types of trees and leaves around our house. 

The other day we happened upon a great find while out on our walk.....wild blackberries!!!  The next day we took a picnic and an empty bag and went to pick blackberries.  We picked a LOT (OK...mommy picked a lot while I ran around freaking out about the bees in the grass and Clara Shei ate the berries she found....and mommy watched carefully should be need to pump her stomach since she kept eating un-ripe berries.  Then we sat down and ate lunch while mommy kept on picking).

After all our hard work, we went home and made berry pie (OK....again, I must fess up.  We went home and napped and mommy made berry pie).  OH YUM!!!  How I love berry pie.  Best thing???

Mommy let us have a slice for breakfast the next day.  Best breakfast EVER!!!!
