They just got ripe.
Wooden ships, on the water...

They're yours, not hours.
Not Goji berries. Not Acai. Sloe?
Haws?
A few may cause drowsiness, many may cause cardiac arrhythmia.
Serviceberries.
Serviceberries.
Fallen on hard times, have they?
Rice bowls.
BLueberries?
Shadbush berries.
How do you keep birds from eating them? We never get a chance to eat the serviceberries in our yard.
