Raspberries

So after yesterday's intense Harry Potter post, I thought I'd do something completely different today.

Sweet, tart, calm, pretty, juicy raspberries.

Raspberry patches multiply every year. This year we have more berries than we can possibly pick.
My mother or I go out nearly every day and fill up this colander with red goodness.
But for every good berry we pick, there are about three more that get wasted. Which saddens me, but I guess it's a treat for the birds and the bugs.
Anyhow, these now have to be washed and frozen for lots of tasty smoothies this winter. I may even try to do a gluten-free raspberry tart...
