There’s an old folk tune titled Blackberry Blossom that I think about this time of year. The thousands of blackberry bushes that line the edge of our forest bloom in early June and are now full of little green multi-faceted berries that will soon begin to turn a dark purple and then a deep black color which can only mean that breakfast will be more interesting and more enjoyable for a couple of weeks. We do have to compete with the birds and, interestingly, with our collies to get our share. Luckily there are always plenty to go around.
