We just had a good downpour--this time of year with these high temps and humidity the storms can get violent! Before the storms hit, we went out for --Drum Roll Please--
The berries are in various stages of ripe and they're small this year but plentiful! I see wild plums are doing better so far too; I hope to get a few from the bush in our field before the birds get to them..
Fingers get tie dyed a bit...
you gotta get past these thorns to get the berries we ended up with quite a few scratches for one quart of berries oh and one TICK attached itself to me!! Damn- that hurt worse than the briers! The brier is sharp it goes in like a fish hook~~~> and its a rule you gotta curse like a sailor as you attempt to extract it,
OF course there's always something else getting my attention, a wasp enjoys a flower...
And a lovely Monarch came by
...and passion flower was shouting out "take my picture"
and some dandelions!
Past...
and present!
I got about a quart maybe more...enough for a cobbler, pie, or some jam...I'm leaning toward jam!
PEACE
