Raspberry Picking!

Early fall is raspberry season in northern New Mexico. That makes it one of my favorite times of the year! My parents have a little cabin there that Allen and I were able to spend a weekend at.

This is all Allen really wanted to do, but since there is no internet I was able to steal him away from the computer.

One night we wanted to cook out, but we couldn't. My parents had taken their grill back home and we couldn't get a good fire going because it kept raining. So we wrapped our steaks and corn on the cob in foil and stuck it in the oven. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.

Ever since my parents bought the property a couple years ago we've heard that there are lots of bears in the area. But I've never seen one and I don't think anyone else has either. Until this trip when we got lucky! We were driving to Angelfire for some food and were less than a mile from the cabin when we saw this guy! He was in the middle of the road but by the time I got out my camera he was halfway up the hill and all I got was his backside.

And of course the best part of the trip, raspberry picking!
