not because she labors,
but because she labors for others."

The flavors are a good marriage, Katarina, especially for hot summer days & nights.
Thinking of you also, Cat, and I'm with you ... first blueberries, then stawberries/blackberries ... raspberries. Thank goodness that something so delicious is actually good for us ;)
