Too Early

We went to try to pick blackberries but as you can see they aren't quite ready. We did find enough to make a batch of Blackberry Muffins. I just use the same recipe as I do for Blueberry Muffins but use the Blackberries instead; I've even used Strawberries in the same recipe. 

So we will wait a couple weeks and go back to pick berries. Since we couldn't pick today we scoped out a LOT more patches and have plans to pick a bunch - some for jam and some to freeze for pies and cobblers later in the year. While we  were looking for berry patches we spotted some other interesting things along the way. Here is a pictorial tour....
On the way home I felt something under my right arm... a tick... YUCK! I could hardly wait to get home so we could check for others. They just creep me out SO BAD!

    Hi Becky... It looks like you found quite a variety of things on your walk, besides berries ;) :) We have lots of wild berry bushes here in the area...raspberries, for sure..and blackberries. Or are they bo ysenberries? I can never tell the difference. all I know is that they all taste good ;) :) Have a good weekend. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
