When we lived in Sandy, we worked with our neighbors to
build a vinyl fence between our properties. Before long their teenage boys found
they could stand on our sprinkler heads to climb over this fence. We asked them
to stop, but they didn’t. After replacing several heads, we took a different
approach. We went to the nursery and asked for their spiniest raspberry canes.
We planted them along our side of the fence, and the problem was solved. The
fruit was a lovely side benefit. Occasionally there were enough ripe berries for
jam. But nearly every morning all summer long I could gather enough raspberries
for my bowl of Grape Nuts. August 1 is Raspberry Cream Pie Day. Beat together 2
cups raspberries, 3/4 cup sugar, 8 ounces cream cheese, 3/4 cup sour cream, 8
ounces Cool Whip (thawed) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Fold in another cup of
berries. Spoon into baked and cooled 9” pie crust. Chill.
