Raspberries

The birds and I did not get all the raspberries

before the temperature dropped.

So I am gathering them now, but not for eating...

Raspberry with Snow

Some of the raspberries blossomed so late the berries could not develop before the temperatures dropped. I left them on the canes, so they could catch the snow like this.

Friday's Fences

The sun was rising behind the heavy clouds, but on this side of them, there was a scattering of snow, and a bitter wind. Parts of this fence are covered with the remains of raspberry canes.

Fence Posts

I am fascinated with fence posts,

 especially the wooden ones

which are showing their age.

So much variety...

Because I cut my raspberry canes to the ground every fall,

they are only bearing now - but what a crop!

November Raspberries

The raspberries were caught in the snow on the weekend.

 I managed to pick about a cup and a half, after the snow melted. I put them into the freezer before they had a chance to thaw.

 

Fencepost

This fencepost has fallen over

 and is being swallowed by the raspberries.

Raspberry

My raspberries are ready, at least. I cut the canes down every fall, as it seems to encourage more berries to set, but they are later in the year than when you let the canes overwinter.
