I know raspberries are in season here, because I've been picking them off of my neighbor's bushes. They aren't giant in size, but they certainly are in flavor.
If you really want a giant raspberry flavor you may have to go to Paris and try one of these. It's called Ispahan.
I dunno, those berries on the train are so giant they sorta remind me of a 60's sci-fi flick where aliens with jumbo brain-like heads are taking over the world, think I'll stick with the pastries...
Rob, I think the neighbor knows. He invited me to help myself last year and I assumed that meant for this year too :)
Pamela, I think I need t take a little drive to get enough to make jam. I intend to do it though.
Postcardy, those pastries are very brightly colored, but so much more delicious than they look. I think I would take one of those over the flatcar load.
A heartfelt thanks and farewell to my readers. My last post (the thousand and first!) will be on November 7, 2012. The blog will remain online, but there won't be any new posts as I need to make time for other things. There is a chance I'll be back, but if so it won't be for awhile. I hope you'll take the time to peruse the archives.
How To Find Things
There's treasure in the archives, so here's how to browse and find what you want:
1. Enter a search word or phrase in the box below - anything from Princess Grace to Prohibition or Graf Zeppelin.
2. Or, go down to the bottom of the page and browse the "Cloud of Tags". The number next to the tag indicates how many posts have that tag. Clicking on it will bring up all of them. (I realize now that it doesn't always bring up all of them. If there are a lot, then it will only bring up the most recent ones, but if you click on older posts at the bottom then it will bring up more.)
3. You can also go through the archives by date. Just click on the triangle next to the year or month to open the list.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
Those look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love Raspberries! The postcards are great, especially the first one of giant berries.
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me here.......(can you pick enough raspberries to make jam?)
ReplyDeleteI daren’t show this to my husband; he adores raspberries and the idea of giant ones would be too much.
ReplyDeleteThose macaroons look delicious but I know they'd just squirt raspberry juice all over my shirt
ReplyDeleteDoes your neighbor read this blog? Now you cannot blame the birds anymore ...

ReplyDeleteI KNOW if I owned that raspberry postcard I would frame it! I love raspberries and the postcard is awesome!

The raspberries on the flatcar look more appealing to me than the Paris concoction.
ReplyDeleteLovely postcard and the pastries look delicious!

I've always been a big fan of E.H. Mitchell postcards. The giant fruit series is a lot of fun...trying to get all of them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great exaggeration card. Another winner!
