Throughout the summer and fall, our half-mile driveway is lined with blackberries, pears, apples, cherries and plums. Larkin and Finn love to graze their way down to our mailbox, sometimes saying things like "I'm hungry, let's go for a walk!"
This time of year, the road is a little more barren of goodies... but they have discovered the delicious miner's lettuce that grows in patches along the route. The most lush patch is right at the mailbox and they often pick a handful to munch on their way back home. I do my best not to think about the various contributers to that patch's particularly vibrant lushness.
The kids walk along, chatting or singing songs, taking bites from their handfuls of leafy greens and occasionally holding them up to me: "Want a bite of my bouquet?"
