Raspberries, where are you???

I took my husband first berry picking with Lauren when she was around 18 months old... (So June 2004).  We very easily decided to make it a tradition.  Go out as a family, pick berries (generally raspberries, but on occasion it has been strawberries and blackberries), make jam as a family and give out at Christmas. 

Raspberries are suppose to be out..... Early July, raspberries should be hangin so I can go-a pickin.  But they aren't.  There are some places that they are selling them, but due to the lack of harvest, they are not opening the u-pick fields yet.  This is sad.  I am ready to make my jam. 

For now, I will just have to think back to all the previous glorious memories we have obtained, while awaiting our this year tradition.
