Blackberry Picking

I took Joe over to a friend of ours property to pick blackberries. The season is just about done so we really didn't get much. Here is their blackberry fields.



They have some really beautiful property. This is across the street from their house. Just a big huge empty field but it's just beautiful. These bushes are just massive and I didn't realize it so I of course wore a T-Shirt and shorts, MISTAKE!! I came home all scratch up and bleeding for just a bit of berries ARG!!!

Here we are picking:


So, Joe and I decided that next year we would go at the beginning of the season and we would wear long sleeves and long pants!! I'm sure we will get more berries at the beginning of the season. I also told him when we plant some bushes of our own here on the property we will make sure there is lots of room between all the bushes so we don't have to delve into the bushes and come out sliced into pieces LOL!!!

So, here is what we got.


It's hard to believe but I took all these pictures with my phone! Really not bad. So, now I know my phone takes really good pictures so I won't have to lug around my huge camera all the time. And then maybe next time I see an Amish boy hanging on to the back of the buggy on roller blades I can get the picture!! LOL!! On Sunday I saw two Amish boys really cooking down the road on roller blades. Thought they were just out having fun but a little further up the road I saw a buggy coming. The buggy was packed with kids and then I saw the boys hanging onto the back. I guess these were the older boys and there was no room in the buggy for them so they had to roller blade to Church and the one of the back was just hanging on for the ride! LOL!! Wish I took a picture of that.
