Blackberry Bushes

My sister who lives in California is eagerly awaiting a bumper crop of blackberries from the bushes in her garden. You can see the blackberries forming on the bushes. They don't seem to have to spray any pesticides on their produce.

One of my sisters who lives in California is blessed with blackberry bushes in her yard. She has a delicious harvest every year and she shared a few photos with me.

A Great Movie

Raspberries and blackberries have been on sale at the grocery stores and they have been really sweet. They make for a great snack with some milk!  I also bought lots of fresh, green leaf lettuce and hope to be making wonderful salads in the hope of losing some unwanted pounds.

We just saw the 2016 movie 'Lion' with Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman and loved it, a definite 'recommend'!

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.
