Is that blood oozing or berry stains?
Another two quarts of berries in the freezer is all I have for my trouble today.
Why do I do it?
It is never about the berries.
It's about the sensual satisfaction of gathering summer and putting it by. For later.

And won't it be fun to open summer up on a rainy WA winter day!

Where I grew up we had lots of blackberry patches and occasionally a snake or two. We always came home stained, scratched up - and out of breath if we'd spotted a snake. The berries were big. The pleasures of eating those fresh berries and having home-made jam through the winter always kept us going back for more. For later: Yes!
You have a way of injecting humor in painful situations ...
[and thanks for the comment about the "wilderness"]
It's never about the berries. I'll remember that next time.
Kevin, Susan, Maureen, and Bradley....you know about this, don't you? :)
