Taryn's Summer Job

July is all about raspberries and the opportunity to fund your life...if you are a Honcoop kid. All of our kids are seasoned veterans of berry harvest, and this year the mantle fell on Taryn as she got her first official position on Ran & Leslie's crew.

It was a great season and the berries were amazing.

When berries are ready you work - all day every day - rain or shine for the most part.

Taryn did great. She did get off to a bit of a shaky start when her recently broken leg reacted to heat and dehydration by swelling up ridiculously. The doctor assured us she couldn't damage it by working, but perhaps this wasn't the year for such a job.

Ran & Les accommodated her by splitting her time on the picker with another worker which actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. She actually got to make a few summer events she thot she would miss.
