A Boy and His Berries

Knowing how much Calvin loves berries -- strawberries, blueberries, and especially raspberries -- Grandma arrived with the gift of a raspberry bush of his very own.

We searched the land for a good place to plant it. (Where, oh where, could this thing survive in spite of Calvin's Mother's amazing ability to kill plants?!)

Once settled, Grandma went to work. Calvin ate berries as a promise of good things to come, (notice how he puts one on his finger before popping it in his mouth?) and I took pictures.

I can totally relate to the killing of plants....Colin has the green thumb here and I stay away:)

Love that you captured how Cal pokes his index into the hole of the raspberry and admires the accomplishment before eating the berry. He doesn't miss much about how to relate to things structurally.
