Berry Season

It's black berry season. Himalayan blackberries grow wild on the sides of the road and in vacant lots and fields. Free for the picking but beware, the canes can be as thick as your finger and the thorns are vicious. If you wade into a patch - good luck getting back out!


Thankfully the berries are so plentiful that it's not necessary to risk life and limb to get them. Roy and I went picking just down the street where they grow in the ditch.



So what do you do with a bucket of sweet, juicy berries? Make a pie, what else? Delicious!
