One thing I really like about summer is the abundance of berries--especially the ones anyone can pick and eat for free. On some land close to us there are mulberry trees and blackberry bushes (yes, we're allowed to go there and pick), so my husband and children went with their buckets and picked a bowl full. Of course, they returned with purple faces and fingers. Yum! The berries are dark and juicy and sweet. I wish there were enough to, say, make some jam, but our little bowl full of succlents will have to suffice.Friday, July 31, 2009

All I can say is Yumm!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...this brings back sweet memories. I remember picking fresh blackberries as a child and then eating homemade blackberry cobbler. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to pick fresh blackberries since childhood and the store-bought berries are just never as good. :(
