Besides my husband, David, who doesn't love blackberries?!
Delicious berries dusted with sugar!
Blackberry cobbler warm from the oven with melting vanilla ice cream!
Yes, I am sitting in air-conditioned comfort. I know that blackberry pickin' comes with hot, hot weather, humidity, terrible allergy symptoms for some, stickers, thorns, chiggers, ticks, and the ever-present possibility of snakes.
I was at a restaurant with my Dad, Herb, recently and one of the special desserts was blackberry pie. I was buying and asked him if he wouldn't love that delicious summer-time offering. He said no. No?!
He said he remembered his Mother, my Grandma Stanton, canning 40 gallons of blackberries each summer. They were picked from multiple places around the home place and he said he remembers who did the pickin'. So, thanks to all of the blackberry pickers everywhere. I appreciate you.
