The Great Blackberry Adventure

Although we've mentioned blackberries just a couple of days ago, it warrants another mention - because the bushes are just so fab!! I think it's because we actually had rain this year. June bugs haven't been to bad - only a half a dozen or so flew at me to day while I picked - all the same - bugs, thorns - the chance of a snake...

These are the crazy and wild blackberry bushes out back.



They look very pretty up close, but you have to wear long sleeves, jeans and proper footwear, picking them in a bathing suit and flip flops was not a good idea. Needless to say even if it's 100 degrees out - cover up or the prickers will get you.



Fingers turn purple...



But the reward is worth every adventure!
