Berry pickin' time
((as opposed to nose pickin' time*))

I've been watching the wild blackberries along McGinness Ferry since they flowered (months ago), waiting for the berries to form and ripen. Right now, most of the berries look like they are still too red (not ripe; lush, lustrous black), but I saw one bush that looked like it was covered in ((yum!!)) plump, ripe black berries.

I've been dying to check it out, but the usual 2"+ heel, business attire, and rush hour traffic aren't conducive to scampering across the busy 2 lane road and bushwhacking through the roadside flora to the fruit.

This weekend, I investigate.



*OK. So, every time I looked at my original post title ("Berry pickin' time"), the current (revised) title would vibrate in my head.

Sometimes, the voices in my head just insist on being heard. Even if they are juvenile.
