At the land, Milt had an absolute ball scampering down the trails, wading in the pond, scavenging in the underbrush, and he even barreled through the cornfield at one point -- a secret force rustling the ears as he scurried along! Mom and I were hard at work gathering loads of berries while the Milt frolicked. What do we do with our bounty? Well, we make muffins, of course, but, more importantly, we bake PIE!
Yum! |
I decided yesterday that I am partial to blackberry picking rather than pecan gathering because once you pick the berries, you are done -- no shelling required! Dump a cup of sugar on the little black beauties, roll out a crust, and you have a refreshing summer treat! Baking a pecan pie, though, requires quite a few more ingredients, included the dreaded corn syrup, and a very steady hand to delicately float the pecans on top of the sickly sweet mixture. Most importantly, though, both desserts make superb homegrown gifts!
I know you enjoyed the pie. Did Milton get any?
