Blackberries revisited

Hey y'all,

So, we ventured out into the wild backyard once again.  This time, the kids wore socks (pulled up high) and tennis shoes.  We gave the lecture about looking out for ant hills as well as staying out of poison ivy.  (The jury is still out on the poison ivy, but we did wash arms and legs with soap and water when we came in, just to be safe.)  We had much better luck this time.  Everyone got to pick and pick and pick... :)  We got about 4 cups total.  Enough for Michael to have a cobbler baking in the oven right now.  :)  There are still a ton out there.  Michael and I plan to go back out in jeans so we can climb in the brush a bit more.  I am in awe of all the berries we have! 

Molly spotted a few.

And, she finally got to pick. Yay!


Aren't they pretty?


Wow!  How awesome is this?  The best part is that the kids loved being able to pick them. 

Until next time....
