My back yard is full of them, so naturally when
the theme for Creative Tuesdays was 'snack', I
thought of my raspberries! I haven't baked a thing
with them...just been eating them just like this!
Monday the 5th is the deadline for 'snack' entries. Go visit Mr. Toast and see all the entries, which he will showcase on Tuesday the 6th. The next theme will be assigned then, too! Why don't you join in?

“The jelly - the jam and the marmalade, And the cherry-and quince-"preserves" she made! And the sweet-sour pickles of peach and pear, With cinnamon in 'em, and all things rare! And the more we ate was the more to spare, Out to old Aunt Mary's! Ah!”
James Whitcomb Riley
oh the perfect snack...i love fruit...we have a grape vine out back and went out to eat off of it yesterday...mmm....
ReplyDeletehope you al have a great 4th!
After not having eaten raspberries for years, your recent post about them "made" me purchase some. Disappointing, since the store-bought batch was overripe. However, my sister coincidentally has a raspberry bush which has yielded plenty of similar snacks to yours in recent weeks. (Not sure why I'm sharing all of that, really. Oh, well.)
ReplyDeleteyum, I don't grow them here but I should give it a try...blueberries are coming in strong though. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI love me some raspberry jam, raspberry filling, raspberry anything.
ReplyDeletePh that is so fun and nutritious too. What a great basket as well. Somehow your picture seems so cozy and country like. Looks great. Thank you so much Betsy. I will add this to the montage and link back her on Tuesday! Great job. Looks like you had fun drawing it too. Now, did you eat some of the subject matter along the way? :)
ReplyDeleteLove the quote too. Have not read that before. Nice.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo jealous!! I would die for raspberry or blueberry bushes in my yard!!
ReplyDeleteMr. Fox ~ Glad to hear I've inspired you to eat something remotely healthy! :) Careful ~ your softer side is showing! ha.
ReplyDeleteMmm~ I'm not a bit surprised you've never heard that quote...from an old Hoosier poet. :)
ReplyDeleteLove to eat ALL kinds of berries!
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch.
Again, you are showing your fine talents. Now, let's have some of your raspberry pie....mmmmm!

My dear Betsy.... I chose cherries, and then saw your raspberries.... Love your drawing of the basket too... Just want to reach in and get some. Fruit is just a great snack in any form, isn't it? I'm so new at this...my first entry. Will you check me out, and see if I did it right!
ReplyDeleteI think this is going to be fun. I love direction...and knowing what to post on Tuesday's will be great. That why I also like ABC Wednesdays.
Yum...must get some of these soon...What a great snack and wonderful drawing. :) This reminds me of blackberry picking when I was a girl. Great job, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteHope your 4th was a great one, too.
ah, well, that does explain it then.
ReplyDeleteI must check the blueberry patch, though I don't look forward to picking in this heat.
ReplyDeletelovely drawing
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of Mum's Raspberries on the back fence when I was 'little'. We loved picking them for her! ...and eating them!
ReplyDeleteI saw a small punnet of out of season raspberries at the store yesterday Betsy. The sticker said $10.99! Enjoy each & every one of yours. Can I place an order for White Chocolate & Raspberry Muffins please?
ReplyDeleteMillie ^_^
Great picture! You can't beat a snack that is easily collected from the backyard!
ReplyDelete~Valerie
