sherron0 I found Blackberries in a field on the way to the cave (long story, will post later) and I just made the guys stand there in the sun while I got all scratched up and my hair tangled in the branches, and I picked and ate as many as I could.
I don't really 'bond' with raspberries, since they didn't grow wild for the picking where I grew up.
But Blackberries! Ummm. And you know, those things in the stores are as far removed from blackberries as store tomatoes are from the real thing. I'd been thinking that my tastes had just changed over the years, and I just didn't like them anymore. Nope. I just hadn't had the real thing in years. And now I won't even try to eat store bought blackberries.
