First blackberry harvest

The blackberries start to ripen here around this time every year. The first ripe ones were ready to be picked today. There is a huge patch all around the parking lot at church. The kids brought a basket and we got there early so they could pick some. Of course after we ate some and shared the rest none came home. There were plenty of red and green ones and even a few blossoms left throughout the brambles. There will be lots more to come....

Ben didn't make it.. he finished his nap while the other kids picked berries. (Yes, I know he is in a pink carseat...)
