Berry Picking Day

There were berry bushes all along this dirt road lining the fence & all underneath this huge oak.
Pretty wildflowers all over the country-side.
Our master picker, Aunt Gladys (this woman could out-walk me in the pasture like no-one's business! She is IN SHAPE! I need to hang out with her more often!
My happy picker friend Glenda...she's my husband's cousin's wife & we've known each other for 18 years now...love her...one of the most good hearted people you could ever meet.



Treasure! More berries will ripen up soon! These red ones should be ready in about a week! Yeah!
The Loot!

Today we drove over to my in-laws place & let the kids play with MaMaw & Papaw for a few hours while I picked blackberries with James' Aunt & cousin's wife Glenda. Boy...I miss living in the country! We had a great time & there were more berries than we could pick. There will be more ready in about a week, so I'm planning another trip for next week. I will call it a huge success with a cooler full of blackberries, no snake sightings & no-one got in the bull-nettle (even tho the biggest berries were growing in it!) Fun girl time for me & yummy cobblers to come for the family! Gotta go rinse & freeze some berries.
