Blackberries

My neighbor Leon got up in the wee hours of this morning to venture over to the Fruit & Berry Patch in Halls where he picked 14.6 pounds of these beauties. Here they are washed, dried, and ready for jam and a few bottles of wine.

We have a small blackberry patch out back. You inspired me to pick a few, which is all we have. They were mostly small and tart.

Leon was complaining that he could never make a cobbler as good as his mother's. His sister will be visiting from Ohio in about two weeks so he planned to freeze enough for her to make one.

I only got to taste one of the berries but it was very sweet. He called yesterday afternoon to tell me he could hear jar lids popping every few minutes. I know I'll get a jar of the jam (and a bottle of the wine).

We were at the farm last week and one of Dennis' young goats had escaped into the blackberries. They are more fond of the bushes than the berries, but there was havoc none the less.
