After LE's bout with the fever, Papa Richards had one too. I called Mom and asked if there was any way she would meet me in Marble Falls so I could get out of the house. The girls were going stir-crazy and Ben was trying to sleep it off. We decided to give the blackberries at Sweet Berry Farms a try, we had such a blast picking strawberries, why not. Well, it was because of these rose-style thorns on blackberry bushes, that it will be the only try it gets. I still have scratches up and down my arm and a microscopic thorn embedded in my left thumb. The girls were quite good at locating the berries, but they picked maybe 3 berries each. We gathered enough berries for Mimi to make 3 jars of blackberry jam, but next time we will just make a run to the local fruit stand.
