Every summer I can remember is punctuated by blackberries- first the anticipation, then collection, then...my most favorite food ever, blackberry pie.
I am not a religious or particularly spiritual person but while I'm picking blackberries I feel as if the earth is blessing me with a glorious gift, thorns, spider webs and all.

Oh that looks so delicious. Do you have a blackberry patch around you?
Oh dear! Blackberry pie is truly manna from heaven (if there IS a heaven!)...And I gorged myself on BC wild blackberries last summer. I know the joy of which you speak. YUM!
I forgot to ask...how many cups of blackberries does it take to make one juicy, fat pie? I usually eat them before I collect enough to make anything...
One last thing...I miss the disco ball!
I have a yard full of blackberries...I wish I could share them with you!
I use about 5 cups of berries in this pie. If some of the berries mysteriously disappear en route to the kitchen, I make up the difference with apple (blappleberry pie is my second favorite).
I miss the disco ball too! Maybe I can get it back..I will try anyway :)
Yeah! Mirrorball is back :) It's smaller but I still like it a lot...
