We had set aside today to do a big hike. With me still recovering, thought it would be better to do a less strenuous day trip.
Bruce had a great idea – head to Sauvie Island. Bruce could do a 16 mile loop bike ride and the rest of us could pick berries, something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time. The farm had blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and a few marrionberries left.
My original plan was to pick 20 pounds of berries, but with Xander hollering “I’m done” every quarter hour, I adjusted expectations to 10 pounds. It was the hottest day of the year and the berries were a bit picked over. We only got 8.75 pounds. But we had fun and agree we’d like to do it again next year.
“What do tigers dream of, when they take a little tiger snooze. Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her catwoman suit.” – A song from The Hangover that Xander sang over and over and over as he picked berries.
