Berries, Cobblers, and Pies

As part of my goal to accomplish something every day before school starts, I requested a berry-picking expedition Monday. My wish was granted.

Being fair-skinned, we applied our sunscreen religiously. Of course, I did not know that this was a new kind of sunscreen, and it was spray-on 100+ SPF. IT WAS LIKE SHELLAC. I could not move my arms. I had an exoskeleton. And it was greasy. It pooled in the dents between my knuckles. Worst of all, it gave us a temporary yet still horrifying spray-tan. Fortunately, I was still able move my arms enough to pick a couple of pounds of blueberries.

Then we made a blueberry pie and a peach-blueberry cobbler. I'd elaborate, but eating pie makes me tired.
