since I was a small child, I would spend the entire month of June combing the woods for wild blackberries. What a joy to be able to share the excitement of a good blackberry hunt with my kiddos. (actually we knew where there was a large thicket, so no real hunting involved.) A lot of time, blackberries are home to many wild animals. We were careful to poke around with a long stick before exposing our legs and hands into the thorny unknown. We did find a raccoon, that wasn't too happy we were invading his safe haven. But overall we had tons of fun, and came home with about 2 lbs of fresh blackberries, and a tummy full strait from the vine.
