Thanks for the humble chuckle this AM!! So glad your neighbor was there to lend a hand. And I admire your handsome hiking sticks.. I hope to foray once more to Elementary Schoolyard to gather dust free berries to freeze in flat pie pan shapes. I’ve promised pies for Nate’s.B Irthday party and the annual ‘old U District neighbors’ picnic. I will not make homemade berry jelly this year. Too Time intensive.
Last week, I unwantedly discovered a different kind of briar. As I reached down to remove trash from the recently mowed roadside, this thing latched to my forearm. It's briar barbs were like tiny hooks. I was a bit stunned by the situation, wondering how to remove myself from this unique experience. With my gloved free hand, I removed the stem having dozens of tiny hooks attached to my arm. Removal was a bit painful as I watched tiny streams of blood flowing down my forearm. I took a moment to study that horrible creation and embed it's appearance into my brain. Sometimes, I wonder why God created some things.

Blackberry picking is great for grandkids! Nice to go for a walk together and let them find treasure for you all to enjoy.
