It’s late July and hot, ripe blackberries seem to be everywhere in Lake O! In the last two weeks, Laura, Codi and I have picked 4 tupperware containers full of them. Even alongside the railroad tracks in Lake O, the blackberry bushes are thick with fruit.
This morning I wanted to make myself a PB&J sandwich. I started putting it together, then found out half way through that we had no jam. Doh! But sitting on a shelf was a fresh container of blackberries. I grabbed about 30 of them and piled them about 2 inches thick on the peanut-butter side of my sandwich and topped it with another slice of bread. The result was an amazing treat, almost too good to believe! =)
