Sweet



I have to confess that I bought these blackberries just so that I could photograph them. (Yes, I know -- I'm strange.) But then I tasted them, and they were so sweet that I ate almost half the container in one sitting. Guess I'll have to get another half pint to photograph. lol

Oh, and before I forget -- just a quick apology. I have had a ton of visits from spammers again, so I've had to turn on word verification and limited comment moderation. I'm so sorry -- I know it's a royal pain in the butt to have to type out that extra word, but I spent a lot of time this morning removing comments from old posts.

Well, that's about as exciting as it gets around here. How about you -- got anything fun planned this weekend?

*********

I'm hoping you'll join me for Mosaic Monday. Mr. Linky should be up by 8:30 pm Eastern time, Sunday. I look forward to seeing your wonderful creations!

  1. Mary,
    I do the same thing! I have also been known to slight rearrange the produce in Fresh Market.
    I hope to organize photos this weekend!

  7. I've also had to go to moderation of comments - what a pain - and it seems so unfriendly - but it is a necessity to keep the spammers away.

    The blackberries are making my mouth water!

  14. They look good. Like Susan said, the prices are high here right now. Sorry about the spammers. I had to start comment moderation right before Christmas.

  15. Ummm... blackberries. I haven't seen them yet in the stores; maybe because I send Howard to do the hunter-gathering.

    They look scrumptious.

    Spammers -- what IS the point? I ended up not allowing anonymous posting; I tried comment moderation but right now can't get to the computer as often as I like, so this seemed the better way.

    Let's take a few moments and just think BAD THOUGHTS about spammers, ok?

  18. Hello Mary...your blackberries look delicious and I would have done the same as you did! Sorry to hear about the spammers...so far I haven't had any problems...hope I don't. Not much going on here on the farm other than cleaning up messes that have been left by others over the years. Sometimes I think we'll never get it finished! Hope you have a wonderful peaceful Sunday. Take care...Maura:)

  22. Berries look scrumptious! It's certainly not a hardship to use word verification...It's interesting to find a real word to type on occasion! ;)Cathy

  26. Your photos are so fresh! Nothing is blooming yet and its been snowing all day. Luckily the snow isn't staying but there are still icicles from our overnight freezing rain dripping from my car's bumper. I love your beautiful mosaics and they've been cheering me up until spring arrives here in Northern Alberta.
