Raise your hand if you love raspberries!

Bunches of raspberries are finally turning ripe and this is creating a lot of excitement here on Critter Farm:

After picking 2.9 pounds from my upper raspberry bushes this morning, I decided it was an excellent time to conduct a quick, completely unscientific, poll:

..on who around here loves raspberries - and who doesn't.

Can you guess the results?

Roxy, my farm pup?:

Yes:

Without question. She loves them:

And she thanked me afterwards:

The chickens?:

Absolutely, the hungry little dinosaurs. They've grown up on these...and I've seen recent evidence that they've already been helping themselves to the low hanging fruit. (I'm totally on to you, girls!):

The donkeys, Beau and Chester?:

Mmm hmm. Yeah:

With gusto:

...and funny faces:

As I was walking down to ask the goats their opinion on raspberries, look who I ran into...Honey.

Of course, her opinion matters:

She loved them:

And what about the goat boys, Pete and Reggie?:

Yes. Duh!

There is very little these boys won't eat:

Pete even licked up the juice:

And I truly did not know until this afternoon...:

...just how long Pete's tongue was:

Kai llama?

Um, nope.
She did her very best impression of a llama ignoring me. She thought they were stinky:

Our cat, George?:

Complete and total disinterest. Didn't smell like tuna, you know:

My man, Jim?

Oh, you better believe he loves them ...sprinkled over vanilla bean ice cream:

He insists this is the only way to eat raspberries.

So, that about sums it up. Raspberries are very big around here, though there are a few hold-outs who don't appreciate them as much as they should.

I think this was quite an informative post, don't you?
