Berry Picking

We walked around the lake and found an entire hillside of black berries! I told Angie we just had to pick some and make cobblers and jams with them. Angie, like a good chap went along and we set about to conquer the hill... in shorts... and sandals... during the hottest part of the day. I had no idea blackberry bushes were so mean! I learned my lesson and next time I go blackberry picking, I'll remember to wear long pants, and go later in the day. But, we had a great time!
Our hands were purple by the end of the day!
Driving home in the truck with our treasure...
Nearly 2 gallons of black berries!
Later that evening, we made a black berry cobbler and ate it with ice cream and if I do say so myself.... yuuuummmmm!
