Good things come to those who wait.....

...through rain and wind and all the awful weather of this fall.  Yesterday, in our raspberry patch, I found large, sweet berries.  Many times in the last couple of weeks I have only found wilted, moldy raspberries.  But our recent sunny, dry weather has ripened the last of the berries for the season--the taste of summer in October, to be savored and remembered until next year!

I love this breakfast:  Non-fat, plain Greek yogurt, roasted almonds, raspberries and a drizzle of honey.  Nothing is better to get you going in the morning.  Remember, don't buy roasted almonds, do it yourself:  spread several cups of whole almonds on a baking sheet, place in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, let cool.  Use a handful for breakfast, freeze the rest for future use.
