love those berries

So anyways. . .

The blackberries are peaking in our part of the world.

Yesterday we went to the patch in our back forty five. . .and looked for the biggest and the best of the season.

Blackberries are the best. . .

just out of reach.

The biggest. .

and the juiciest can be seen but not easily accessed so we do ..

whatever we need to do to get those elusive fat and juicy berries.

So . .I said. . ."hold on to the back of my pants. . .I'm reaching in"

He held. ..and then thought I needed a bit more slack. . .

and I lost my balance. .

and wore the brambles all the way down.

Now. . .

this picture was taken after I went to the house and the clotting began.

I said. . ."we need to go back for picture. . .you realize"

Yes. . .he had figured that in.

The rest of the berries were picked. . .

with me pointing ..

and standing on the bottom of the ladder offering support.

All fow now. . .
