summer of blackberries

So last year about this time I was busy canning peaches and pears. This year I've moved on to blackberries! They are EVERYWHERE out here. We even got a ton in our backyard.
First when Dani was visiting she and I picked about 10 or 12 pounds and made a bunch of jam.
Then Sis visited and she and I picked 25 pounds (we weighed them) and we made a bunch more jam and pies.
Then Megan and Bailey and I picked another 25 pounds for mom to make some jam. And they were all from this amazing spot on the side of the road. As you can see, Megz and B and I had a little too much fun spreading on berry war paint!

You look like you have so much fun with your sisters. Makes me really miss mine, and wish that we lived closer. We've had a couple blackerry pies ourselves this summer. Yummy!
