The blackberries are ready! Woohoo.
I took the kidlets for a walk down the rentals dirt road to eat the berries. We didn't bring a basket because I only like them fresh and warm off the vine. I guess I should wash them first but who worries about a little acid rain wash and bear drool? Not me!
Speaking of bears.. I was so worried we would come across one. There is one living nearby and has been making nightly visits and was spotted on my mom's front porch a few nights ago.
Many of the berries are still too pink and tart but the big juicy black ones were dilish. I just wish the seedless variety grew wild.
The berries should be at their prime in about a week so come by and eat 'em all. I often see locals and travellors parking their cars along the edge of the road on the mountain passes and climbing into the bushes. If you do this, watch for snakes and cars!!!!
