Picking berries one by- YEEEEEOWCH!

Me and Jim were bored yesterday, so we went out to pick blackberries. We went to pick at some bushes out in this otherwise-empty area, where NO ONE ELSE was. This means we didn't have to fight anyone for a bush to pick in, and it seemed like blackberry-picking heaven.





Well, not entirely...

You see, blackberries have some serious thorns, and they're EVERYWHERE! Often times, I would see some really good ones: big, black, and juicy, but they were either too high up, or surrounded by tons of thorns! Grrrrrrr...

After about an hour, we decided we were done. Jim filled his tupperware about halfway with berries, all of which were perfectly large and ripe. How did I do? Well, let's see, I filled about 1/4 of my tupperware, which was the exact same size, and only a few were perfect. The rest of them were partly purple, or even some red.

Overall, Jim got to have tons of wonderfully sweet blackberries, and I got to eat those few "perfect" ones, which tasted really sour anyways. Oh well, maybe next time...
