Writing is more than just the making of a series of comprehensible statements: it is the gathering in of connotations; the harvesting of them, like blackberries in a good season, ripe and heavy, snatched from among the thorns of logic. ~Fay Weldon Blackberry season is over for this year, but my writing season is just beginning to ripen. At …
Blackberry: nature’s candy at its finest. It’s blackberry season here on the farm. Just got back from picking some of those blackberries here on the farm. We got out buckets mostly full before the light dimmed too much to see which blackberries were actually ripe. It’s a family tradition to go blackberry picking with my son and grandkids. We started …
Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. ~Dr. Seuss It’s blackberry season out here on the farm. I’ve been over in the field fighting the briars, the weeds, and the bugs for some wild blackberries. Made a pie and some blackberry jam. Now I’m picking the tame thornless blackberries we have out by the garden. They’ve gotten …
“What we could consider magic, may just be science that we don’t understand yet.” ― Patricia Robin Woodruff, Strange Tales of Floyd County, VA Thank you all for playing my Mystery Photo Game.

I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an ‘errie’ in it! ~Jordin Sparks I went raspberry picking yesterday. The rains keep coming down and the fields are wet. The day was steamy. The field where the raspberries grow in the fence row is chest high with grass since the hay hasn’t been cut yet. But I …

It can be an adventure to pick those since we didn’t keep them trimmed as we should have and some of the vines are ten feet tall. The best berries are always the ones on the tiptop vines and just barely …
July 20, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. I’m a little itchy tonight. That’s not right. I’m a lot itchy tonight! Have you ever gone blackberry picking and come home with more chiggers than berries? I think I did this weekend. I love blackberries. They have that special tart taste like no other berry and a blackberry cobbler …
July 28, 1965 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. You remember those blackberries I talked about picking last week. Well, they’re in a jam now. (Ha. Ha.) Wes says I’m getting to be a regular comedian. I tell him that’s only because I hang around with him so much. He laughs about that. Says a Jupiterian has to have …
July 21, 1965 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Holly County. Guess what I did last weekend? Right. Went blackberry picking on Miss Sally’s farm. She thought it would be too late to find any, but they must have been waiting for the rain and so had to wait a little longer to get ripe. Miss Sally said she’d teach me …
Hollyhill, Kentucky July 22, 1964 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. Well, from Holly County anyway. We, Dad and Aunt Love and I, actually live outside the city limits. We don’t live on a farm exactly, but there are farms all around us. Some of those farms have plenty of blackberry bushes on them and it’s blackberry season. …
