Mmmmmmm.........one of our favorite summertime things is picking blackberries and we did that in abundance this year. After all the picking, washing, freezing and bagging were done, we had about 5 gallons stockpiled in our chest freezer! There was, of course, a blessing in mind for those wonderful berries. We knew Grandma and Grandpa were coming down from Alaska in September and we also knew how they loved blackberries, so we were picking and bagging as many as we could so we could send them home with a bunch. Little did we know that they would show up here with a cooler full of Alaskan salmon and halibut for us! It was like an old fashioned native trade. Fish for berries. Wonderful! A blessing both ways.
