Sometimes your post feel like dreams to me, in the way they float and stay with me throughout the day, seem like something I experienced somehow in another dimension, full of wonder and sensation and love. They soothe me the way certain dreams sometimes do.<br /><br />I have wild blackberry bushes right in my back yard. I picked the first little batch last night and thought of you and Mr Moon. And your wonderful blackberry post, how ancient it is, the plucking, the plop.<br /><br />I loved your talk of preserving. The pop in winter of the jar lid. I hope you'll take some pics of the process. I love the STEAM.<br />IL love the way you write, tell stories, and live your life.<br />I love you.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510823788662848522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-5931543371157364022010-06-27T23:01:34.534-04:002010-06-27T23:01:34.534-04:00I would like to find a good grove of them here.

I make syrup the kids love on their pancakes. I never tried cheesecloth, but I bought two conical metal mesh strainers and pour the cooked berries through one and use the other to mash out the pulp and juice. A few seeds come through, but 95% of them are left behind and can't get stuck in our teeth. I found Smuckers seedless black raspberry jam in the stores, which I can dilute and use in a pinch, but at $3.00 a small jar, I'll risk a few thorn pricks, mosquito bites and spiders to get the free ones. Nature's gifts are the best. Enjoy your berries! Too bad about the zippy car. I gave mine up for a minivan a long time ago. I miss it!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-75747059602965484052010-06-27T20:10:03.059-04:002010-06-27T20:10:03.059-04:00Ahh, so nice!

Pick a berry, eat a berry, dripping juice all over stained hands and clothes. Isn't it funny what to use for picking berries with? I thought about it and a friend who use to let us pick from their land had us use you a plastic basket with a string attached to it that we wore around our necks...long string that hung to the waist...oh some good memories you conjured up for me Ms. Moon! And the Miata ride sounded real nice on a hot day.....Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912709342270151365noreply@blogger.com
