Blackberry, Crackberry

I seem to have no words today, so instead I present you with a picture of my favourite crop, just starting to come into season. I didn't plant them. I don't water or fertilize them. In fact, I try desperately to ignore them until I have enough to make a pie. Mmm, blackberry pie.
Words to the wise: if you take your kid blackberry picking with you, make sure to dress them in black. We lost many a light-coloured shirt to blackberry juice stains last year!
