Days of Summer

I don't like heat, especially when it gets sweaty. I love cold. Blackberry season is upon us again. I apologise that I have not been writing as regularly, but I pick the berries when they come into season to make jelly and preserves. Everybody in the house loves them. But it also takes time to process them and pick them. It usually takes an hour to go pick them and 2 days to process them if I have no help. When my daughter helps me it goes lots quicker. I'm not as strong or agile as I used to be and the mountain is very steep. Next year will be nice when the raspberries start bearing. I look forward to less thorns. I did not plant the blackberries they just grew by the grace of god. So too with the golden delicious apples , crab apples, and black walnuts that grow here. I guess I'm very lucky that I live in a farming area. The birds drop the seeds from neighboring areas. I used to buy apples from my neighbors farm but no more. How lucky is that! Well, I just wanted you all to know that I have not forgotten you all . Just busy with my berries.
