Berry hunting walk / 今年初のベリー散歩（My Actifit Report Card: July 15 2024）

Yesterday, after dinner, my daughter and I went berry picking for the first time this year. This has been a yearly tradition since she was a toddler. It had been hot and raining often, and the blackberries are nicely riping.

Of several bushes in the neighborhood, two of the places where we picked well last year have been destroyed by constructions. My daughter almost cried for the blackberries, but I saw blackberry sprouts popping out from the edge of the construction site, which showed me how powerful the blackberries and nature are. Blackberries are sometimes considered a tough weed in Germany, but I also think it's not bad to have something that humans can't beat.

I got a little exercise by picking blackberries in the bushes and high places. My daughter seemed to enjoy it, as she grew taller and had more places to reach.

She is going to make smoothies with these blackberries for her papa who is now gaining weight and want to reduce it. I laughed when she said she will sell the healthy smoothies to him 😂 Good, business girl. She need some pocket money to buy Monopoly game.

So why don't you go for a walk and look for something nice like berries? I'm talking to my daughter about picking flowers today.

Have a great week everyone!

昨日、夕食の後に子供と今年初めてのベリー摘みに出かけました。赤ちゃん時代からの毎年の習慣です。暑い日が続いて、よく雨が降り、ブラックベリーがいい感じに色づいていました。

近所にいくつかあった茂みのうち、去年よく採れた場所の二つは工事で潰されてしまいました。子供はブラックベリーがかわいそうと泣きかけましたが、工事現場の端っこからはブラックベリーの芽が出ていて、ブラックベリーの力強さを感じました。ブラックベリーはドイツでは手強い雑草とみなされることもあるのですが、私は、人間が勝てない何かがあるって悪くないなとも思うのです。

茂みの中や高いところのブラックベリーを採ってちょっとした運動になりました。子供は背が伸びて届くところが増えたこともあり、楽しそうでした。

このブラックベリーでスムージーを作って、絶賛体重増加中の父ちゃんに健康的なスムージーを売るそうです😂

みなさんもお散歩がてら、あれこれ探してみてはいかがでしょうか。今日は花をつみに行こうかと子供と話しています。

みなさん、良い一週間を！
