Wild Pleasures in Pennsylvania


There comes a time when we all need to embrace the darker side to our nature. It is this time of year when I think of travel to foreign lands, seeking the fruits of our spaceship Earth. Looking at travelocity, from Baltimore, USA to Argentina South America, round trip ticket is $649.
Yet, some of the nicest pleasures do seem to occur on the Eastern United States this time of year. Blue fin crabs are flowing in the brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay, and in tributaries of Virginia, and North Carolina. Spring Green beans, Broccoli, and peaches are riping. Another sweet fruit mostly growing wild are the Black and Red Raspberries of Pennsylvania. Ahhh!
There is nothing more natural, satisfying, and pure then taking a small pale or container then gathering berries. Eating a few while picking is also a nice bonus.
Standing out in the cool afternoon breeze with someone close to you is an even better way to spend a day picking berries. Its special moments like these that will last me a lifetime. Maybe Argentina can wait until January. When it will be summer there.
Good Times,... Good times,...

Bumbas,...Happy Trails!
