We had a relaxing start to our day, meeting Becca after 10am to go berry picking at a local family farm. They were just starting their season so they were only open on the weekend, but soon would be open every day for raspberries, blueberries, apples, flowers and more.
We took a few pictures of the farm so that we would remember the diversity and beauty of it.

We were pretty warm from picking berries in the sun, so we decided to pick up some groceries on our way back to the apartment, grab our swimsuits and some lunch, and go back to the Connecticut River for another swim. When we arrived at the grocery store we got sidetracked by the Borders next door and their 'going out of business' sale. We did some shopping. Chuck found another Spanish-English dictionary. :-)
Then the groceries, and when we got done with those, it was obviously going to rain. We skipped the swimsuits and went to Becca and Joseph's apartments to have some lunch. We spent the afternoon relaxing. Tim and I made our Invisible Shoes/Barefoot Sandals.
Then Becca made a blueberry pie and an apple tart, and we made roasted vegetables with chicken for a late supper. MMMMmmmmm.
