Raspberries!

The raspberries in our backyard are now ripe!  It seems like they ripened earlier this year than usual.  This is probably due to the fact that a month ago, there was a whole week with temperatures in the 80's, which is unusual for the Northwest.

We have a row of raspberries in our backyard about 12 feet long.  We are surprised at how many raspberries those vines produce--maybe about a quart of berries each week.

The girls enjoy picking the berries.  Elvin has had to teach Karina how to tell went they are ripe.  So she's learned only to pick the red ones, not the pink ones.

 Here is Karina making her fake smiley face.
