Today's Berry Haul

This is Cec with the dewberries we picked today.  More tomorrow for sure.

Back when I was a kid, my Mother would put on her big hat and long sleeved shirt, grab a pot from the kitchen and head for the nearest berry patch.  This was usually a fence row or on a railroad right-of-way, places that did not get mowed or chopped by farmers (that includes my Dad), or eaten by cows.

Most of the berries went into jar after jar of  blackberry jelly, which we enjoyed all year long.  Of course, some of the berries went into blackberry cobblers.

We probably won't make any jelly this year since our house is not completed, but we will have blackberry cobbler!  If we pick a lot of berries, we will freeze them for use later in the year.
