On bright crisp mornings when Sis. Vorwaller and I hike to the top of Patriarch Hill we are rewarded with the sweet taste of Blackberries which are now ripening faster than we can pick. I guess most people don't like getting scratched by their thorny stems but the harvest is worth it for us. Fresh Blackberries on oatmeal cereal is great with Vermont maple syrup. And I'm really excited about having Blackberry pie.
