Blackberries



We got a few blackberries from my garden, they have finally ripened and are quite sweet in mid-July!  My friend S did prick her finger on one of the branches however, they are riddled with sharp thorns.  This is a wonderful time of year.

In a bit of bad news my poor son K's field placement did not work out, so he has to look for another one and his graduation will be delayed until next year. He earned 67 hours then the manager/owner stopped giving him shifts and he needed 83 more hours. He learned there are mean people in the workplace, and we will move on. Fortunately he can drop the course in time so it won't affect his average.

Hello Christine, I would love to have some of
your sweet blackberries :) With sugar and
cream please ;)
Sorry to hear about your son, so that was
lesson #1 for him about working life?
Hope he finds another place for him.

Have a beautiful day

I love blackberries and I have some growing in my back yard. I should check and see if the berries are ready. Before the animals get to them!

How sad that someone else's actions will keep K from graduating.

That's too bad. But, things always manage to turn out for the best in the long run.

What a beautiful photograph of the blackberries, just lovely! I'm sorry to hear that about your son's former manager. I'm glad he's able to drop it before it damages his average.

I've never liked blueberries or blackberries very much
