Picking Blackberries

Summer always comes to an end way too quickly. There are hard things about summer ending like having to go back to work after spending a couple of months at home with Katie. However, we found a good thing to celebrate about this time of year…fresh blackberries.

After a day of meetings for work, I took Katie outside to pick blackberries. We're lucky to have wild blackberry bushes running alongside our house.  I thought Katie would be part of the experience, but I didn't think she would pick many berries since the bushes are so prickly. However, after she got one taste of the berries, she wanted to pick some herself. It turned into a delicious blackberry-eating night for her!

Here's a rock for you before we start! 

Wow! A whole cupful of berries! 

These are delicious! 

Here I come to help, Grandma! 

Do you mind if I hold your leg, so I don't fall into the bush? 

Look at this berry treasure! 

No one will notice if I just eat them instead of putting them in the cup. 

I'll take those! 

I have a mouthful of berries! 

Everyone should try these!
