Foliage

We took our annual trip to the Arboretum last week. There is something so breathtakingly wonderful about leaves that are bursting with such color that you can have whole back drops of yellow, orange or red just with the turn of your head.

The most exciting part of this year’s trip was a lesson in poisonous and non-poisonous berries. KP decided to pick-up and eat a delightfully round red berry, then proceeded to throw-up all over himself.

We hiked around to find the nearest arborist, just to get a little clarification on if my small child was going to die or not. We handed the arborist the sample berry. He took a bite, then told the on looking children “don’t ever do this ok?” and as they shook their heads he looked as me and said, “Oh, he’ll be fine, it’s just some form of crabapple.”

Good pickn’ little buddy. But next time, let’s leave the berries on the GROUND!
