favorites today. There hasn’t been a home where I have lived as an adult, that I haven’t planted a raspberry patch and fruit trees.
As kids growing up on the farm we looked forward to traditions and each season had it’s special times. Summer was long lazy days, playing in the barn, pretending to be early set- tlers building our homesteads, fishing in the big pond , chasing the cows, riding the old gelding who was so tall and so patient! But our favorite thing was playing with the wild kittens who lived in the orchard and watching the fruit grow magically on the trees and bushes. We had some of everything and the small yellow plums were so sweet and juicy. I can remember their taste even today. Raspberries were eaten straight off the bushes and when we were full we’d place the rest in an empty container and bring them back to the house for Nana to make into our favorite pie. She’d whip out the ingredients, flour sugar, sweet butter and start rolling and fitting the crusts into the glass pie plates. Soon we’d all be covered in flour and in order to get some peace Nana would give us all a separate piece of dough and tell us to roll it out into our own turnover crust. We’d roll out the shape and wait for her to put a big scoop of raspberry on each little turnover square. We’d add our sugar, fold them into a triangle and pop them into the old fashioned oven. They would be finished before the pies and each of us kids were allowed to eat our turnover before dinner! What a special and smart lady my grand mother was!
It’s funny how nowadays we buy our children things rather than do a lot of the fun stuff that costs noth- ing and builds happy memories and traditions that will carry on for gener- ations. I honestly don’t remember anything I was given as a store bought gift when I was a child, but I do remember all the happy times we laughed together, teased each other and worked side by side.

I have a garden here on the farm where I live now, flowers for the house, a big raspberry patch and an orchard. My children and grandson look forward to raspberry time and this year was a good one as the peach tree was filled with peaches which ripened the same time as the raspber- ries so we were able to enjoy the two fruits mixed together in pies and cob- blers. When fall comes our apples will be ready and my family will col- lect the fruit from the trees and enjoy brown apple betty with their dinners. I’ve been trying to improve my fitness, weight and wellness issues for the past three months so I’ve start-
Raspberry pie is not part of the diet program but I think that a good mind goes along with a good body and when my grandson asked if we were still going to have our raspberry summer I assured him we would. After all one small piece is not going to hurt and the farm tradition tied into the things we love is an important part of nurturing the soul.
A farm life is a great soul

me..mem- ories last forever.
