...it's good to be home.
I am a fan of berries in general. The wild sweetness says summer to me about as clearly as anything I can think of. But raspberries are my favorites. They are complex...layered. Sweet, yes, but also mysterious...a taste you can't completely define...one essence when they first enter the mouth, another as you roll them around...and the finish...that dark, spicy, flowery aroma that lingers afterward might just be my favorite part. Then, of course, if you should elect to pair them with dark chocolate...Oh my!
One of the things I love about gardening is watching how the garden goes through constant evolutions and reinventions. I have taken this same shot a couple of times this summer already, but the addition of the liatris blossoms has completely transformed it. The liatris was just beginning to open when we left, so I knew we would be coming home to quite a show. I am not disappointed. ...and...Kendra, Nina, Amanda...they're PURPLE!
as always amazing garden and amazing pics, even goin away for a trip to europe shud be difficult with thngs like this already in sight
