Raspberries - day 4 and 5

Working and 4 inches of rain slowed the picking.  I did make a couple of raspberry pies (one tart and one with more sugar in it) for my walking group that was meeting here today.  My turn to host.  Did I mention 4 inches of rain?  A few in the group heard there was pie and vanilla ice cream (from Hayward's local dairy) so they came for lunch.  When it was only a mist, we walked an easy 2 miles.  Then Case and I went to the raspberry patch.  I think it was raining more mosquitoes than water.  As soon as we got home, I made the neighbors happy with some fresh produce.  Earlier, I sent my friends home with bags of berries. 

The evening lays before us with only sorting, cleaning, etc. of today's harvest on the agenda.
