The Isolated Blurt Thread XIX: Ice Cream Has No Bones

[thør]

I would like some of those, mr thor.

Come pick them.

 

[lovetoread]

I cant bend over yet.

But man do I remember being made to go out to the woods and pick the berries.

I never brought much back though.

Tis the season.

Oh, wow! I bet you are also a nice man who could make me pancakes. I may have to just visit Alaska one day.

 

[DesEsseintes]

It's also the season for summer walks over hills and into gorgeous villages with Small, and for hedgerows bursting with sweet ripe plums. August is good to us.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Ouch. Feel better soon LTR. I Know that feeling. My friend has a blueberry farm. I should get over there. I think she said she has 3 different types. Yummy.

I want a thatched roof cottage.

They are not, perhaps, the most practical, and they cost an awful lot to redo (every twenty years or so) but they are intensely lovely.

I thought you will visit the Jersey Shore to please!

There's one by my sis in the burbs of Chicago. It's the only one I recall seeing in the states. Oh, I've seen them although I haven't been to England in a while.

 

[Jennifer]

Sweeps, for you I would visit anywhere. I just came home from the beach in NYC. I certainly could have stopped by the Jersey Shore for a visit! I have all of my weekends free now, just let me know when.

 

[Spins]

In a not unrelated note:

Why pick them when you have children who can climb and shake the branches? That is what my Grandfather always said.

They jelly was worth it, I suppose.

He's only just learned to walk. He's rubbish at climbing, except sofas and knees and stairs.

Plus, these were hedge plums. No climbing required - barely even any stopping. Just put your hand in as you stroll. Free wild fruit is like a tiny taste of what Paradise must have been like.

I am home from the shore, but I always go back. I want weekends off too.

 

[Spins]

We grow them bigger in Texas.

More space, I guess.

It's very nice. But getting up at 0500 M-F is a rude wake up call. Literally!

No need for bonsai fruit, then?

I drove from the Shore to Philly every Monday at 4am for 25 years and loved every minute!

But, you were driving TO Philly......

 

[thør]

I cant bend over yet.

But man do I remember being made to go out to the woods and pick the berries.

I never brought much back though.

You don't have to bend as far, picking on the hillside.

 

[BabblingBrooke]

That was a nice catch!

And, fuck, I just cheered for Pittsburgh.

 

[Jennifer]

I would love that, too. My work commute does not involve a beach in any way.

Maybe someday.
