“This is actually a fun family outing.” – Anastasia

“I sure hope you picked more than you ate!” – Bruce

“I don’t remember blackberries being this pokey!” – Michele

“There are really big ones over by the car. I can’t stop eating them!” – Xander

It’s been ages since I’ve been blackberry picking, but that was our outing this evening. I love that sickly sweet smell of ripe berries.

When we summered with G&G, they had blackberries nearby, and Grama would make cobbler if we would pick them.

Blackberries for snack time, blackberries in fruit salad for breakfast, and blackberries in the freezer for the dead of winter. Bliss.

“Blackberries are my favorite. Favorite berry, that is. Are they a fruit?” - Xander, our clueless wonder
