Blackberry Pickin'

Armed with our boots, sunscreen, hats, and pails, Rachel and I with a few of our cousins headed off to pick blackberries! About 20 min east of our house we arrived at an old friends farm. We started out with lot's of energy which started to drain along with the blackberry patches. By noon we were red, hot, and covered in ticks, bleeding scratches, and chiggers. We rambled back up to our friends porch which was extremely inviting to us poor jaded pickers. I guess that we got ahead of ourselves to the timen' as the pickin' was rather slim. Non the less we had the delightful chance to catch up on all the family goin' on's and we have enough berries for a cobbler or two. LOL.
