It is definitely blackberry time here and we are in for a long and plentiful harvest. Yesterday I picked 2 big bowls full, yet I kept looking at these just out of reach. They looked so large and sweet, but were always just out of reach. D and I have even been brainstorming about how we could reach these elusive berries. Perhaps we could rig a rope and tie it on to a lucky child and swing them down over to pick.... or maybe we could lay a ladder over the already picked berries and get closer to picking these. For now they remain just out of reach. Maybe I should console my self with thinking that while these berries look delicious, they would be over-ripe and crush in my grasp. What we can pick is overwhelming us. I am learning to make blackberry freezer jam and am freezing some for winter cobblers to cope with the volume of berries coming in. We also went to Rainier over the weekend. Editing photos is going to take a while because the spring (yes, spring) wildflowers were in bloom and I took trillions of pics. Here is one photo to tempt you.
love and hugs, B
