We made the trek to our favorite pick your own farm again this week, our last voyage in our trusty Taurus. We were double rewarded with some of the first blackberries of the season as well as some of the last strawberries of the season here.Dinoguy loves blackberries. He may have just fond instinctual remembrances of the blackberry bushes behind the condo we lived in for the first 2 years of his life that had delicious blackberries available for anyone to eat for most of the summer. We have great memories of the fun of these blackberries. We would eat them until we were gorged and then eat some more.
So while we had originally gone just to get some more strawberries before the season ended, when Dinoguy found out there were blackberries available, he knew that's what he wanted to do instead. So he & Fixitman headed to the blackberries while Trainboy & I picked strawberries.It was interesting to see how much Trainboy remembered from our jaunt to the strawberry patch previously. He told me all about which berries we should pick and would not pick the ones that weren't totally ripe. He also managed to abstain from eating any before we had paid.
Anyway, we had a wonderful time and have been eating sweet delicious ripe berries full of flavor all week as our reward. Yum. :)

That looks like so much fun! We are going to be planting blackberry bushes here. Hopefully they will take! That looks awesome though! Wish we had something like that up here!
