G sprained his knee, so we have been close to home for a few days trying to take it easy. It is hard for a spunky 5 year old to remember that his knee will hurt if he ... jumps, kneels, twists, bends, runs. So we go up and down, with a lot of ice, books, board games, snuggling, and craftiness in between.
It is getting better, and last night he even went on a 3 mile bike ride with his dad & brother (he was on a third wheel, so didn't have to pedal too much)! Being close to home is good, though, as the weather was gloriously cool and cloudy yesterday - and breezy enough at times in the past few days for me to venture into the garden without wearing battle gear to ward off the mosquitoes. I could even get close to the raspberry patch, which is good, because...
...they are here!!! Looks like we are going to have a bumper crop of red raspberries from our small 4' x 8' patch! While I am still only getting around a pint or so a day right now, there are so many raspberries still ripening --- can't wait!
Happy Wednesday!
awwww, poor little guy! Glad he is starting to feel better but, yes, I bet that is a tricky thing for an active five year old to remember :-)
ReplyDeleteHooray for raspberries!
aaaw, Man!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to G!
Speedy-quick feelgoods to him!
That reminds me... need to go check on the raspberries.... :)
How frustrating:( Hope G heals up quick.
ReplyDeleteYea for the raspberries! We got an early summer crop and am hoping for another one soon. We have a small patch ourselves, but plan on going to some "pick your own" farms soon for a bumper crop:)
what a sad face! hope he is up and back to himself asap! seeing your raspberries reminds me of eating them from the vine as a kid!! happy thoughts!
ReplyDeletehave a great week!
lisa
Thanks everyone - he is a little better today, only needed ice once.
ReplyDeleteJulie - we have an early/late raspberry type too (our goldens)...love having them most of the summer between the two kinds. Oh, I miss U-Picks. Can't pick most kinds of berries with the back (can't wait for apples - I can do that! :)).
Get better soon sweet boy :)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that your little guy is on the mend. It's great that your garden is still producing so much!
ReplyDeleteI do hope he feels better! It's no fun to not run around when you're a kid :).
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the cool weather in the mornings here too ... I used to be a summer girl, now I am most definitely a summer girl.
Oh, poor brave little man. Hope he's on the mend soon.
ReplyDeleteI bet some of those raspberries might bring a smile!
