Free Black Berry Downloads

We spent a sunny morning downloading blackberries 

into our buckets.

The real ripe and juicy ones 

are the cutleaf blackberries 

that grow down by the pond.

They are much larger berries 

and almost taste like blueberries. 

The jam they make is heavenly, especially when you pop open 

a jar in Winter.

The thorns however, 

are fearsome to behold.

..and so it was
time for my new,
snazzy, 
eye-popping
garden gloves 

to finally make
their debut.



(Ok, so what is that stretchy thing on the back of gloves for, anyway?) 

I paid my camera guy (kid) his wages in berry-related goodies today - 

a big hit.
