Blackberries & Bees

We made a spur of the moment trip to a farm just outside of Pittsburgh for a sour cherry pie...Daddy's favorite.  While we were there we decided to pick some blackberries.  Now if you recall, the last time we picked berries, Ella wasn't such a good helper...

July 2012

This year, she is just the right age to be a big girl helper.  She was plucking sweet juicy berries like crazy... 

until she got stung by her very first bee.  I heard screaming & Daddy yelling BEE!  I thought she would be traumatized for days the way she was screaming.  We ran for the wagon just in case.  Fortunately, her hand was just a little swollen and she assured us that she "still had fun even though that bee stunged her."

The mean old bee was soon forgotten and replaced by driving her truck & feeding the goats.
