Yesterday morning we were up bright and early. As in - dressed and had eaten breakfast by 8:00 am. Trying to figure out what to do with the whole morning ahead of us I decided we needed to pick blackberries... for an excuse to make blackberry pie and to spend time just the three of us getting our fingers sticky and watching the sun rise high in the sky. Chloe did a great job picking just the big, juicy ripe blackberries. Yates thought the red, unripe ones were strawberries and didn't understand why Mama wouldn't let him pick them - especially since strawberries are his very, very favorite.
We left with four quarts of blackberries, stained fingers and shirts, and smiles on our faces. It was still only 9:30 am... plenty of time to spend the rest of the morning filling our bellies with blackberries and planning out the yummy pie we are going to bake.
