For the past 4 years I have taken Addie to pick blackberries in Elkton, KY. There is an old client of mine Margerite Oakes that owns the Tin Barn and she sells them as well as blueberries and day lilies. Claire has gotten to go with us the past 2 years. This year we didn't get to pick very many because they were pretty picked over (I got us there too late!). We picked a few and then had to buy the rest so I could make jam and cobbler. I hated having to buy the pre-picked ones because it is so much fun getting them yourself. However, I have to work the next 3 Saturdays and she is only open to the public on Saturday. Oh well, the jam turned out great and I loved eating fresh cobbler for supper last night! Can you say sweet tooth?
My sweaty hot little pickers. Claire got really tired in the hot sun and wanted to be carried and that is when I decided it was time to leave! Addie was not ready to go though.
Easton wants to know when his aunt Kim is gonna bring him some blackberry jam for his biscuits???
