The good news: it’s raspberry picking season. You may recall from a previous post that as Raspberry Queen, it’s my duty to go out and save the raspberries every day from marauders such as birds and beetles.
The bad news: What you see in the bowl above is about all I’m getting each day (sometimes less). It’s enough to put on granola, ice cream or yogurt, but not enough to freeze and make delicious jams and jellies later on. Last year I had about 8 quarts in the freezer by the end of the picking season. Sigh…
The good news: Some raspberries are better than none at all.
The bad news: But I want more!!
The good news: My picking time every day is so short, I haven’t had to battle the mosquitos as much. 🦟.
The bad news: A few clever mosquitos have found me, nonetheless. 🦟
The good news: I put a reminder on my phone at 8:00 a.m. every day to pick raspberries so I won’t forget. The wonders of technology!
The bad news: I’m getting tired of that 8:00 a.m. reminder going off. Technology can be annoying.
The good news: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, among whom I (like Paul) am foremost. I bet you didn’t see THAT coming!
The bad news: None, unless you’ve rejected Him. Then the news is very bad, indeed.
This has been Good News/Bad News, brought to you by lynniebeemuseoday.
I’ll probably delete this in the morning when the 8:00 a.m. reminder goes off.
