Ice cream and other summer fun.....

With all this hot weather ice cream is not an option- it's a must.

So, we headed out the other day to pick berries up by the pond, to put in our homemade ice cream.

Down the path.

Filling up the basket.

We have so many blackberries, but still it's quite hard to stay ahead of the birds.

A good picker.

And a not -so- good picker :)

The start of something sweet and cold.

Smashing ice to put in the freezer.
