Trade off

Skeeter bites
scratches
sweat ... on the one hand.

Half a pint of wild blackberries ... on the other.

Ooooooo It's been a long while since I've picked wild blackberries!! MY FAVORITE!!! It was in July 2006 during one stop along the Columbia River in Washington/Oregon during a cruise! MMMMMMMMM good! I grew up on PB&J sandwiches of Skippy peanut butter and homemade blackberry jelly!!! Now THOSE were the days!

Hi Oppy! Berry good to hear from you again.

Uh-uh, we know your rap sheet with PB &J sandwiches.

Is it cool out there in Colorado? We're in a heat wave. And my car no longer has A/C. Whew!

We have several blackberry bushes ringing the yard at the wood's edge...I always check to make sure Mr. Bear isn't somewhere near when I'm close to them :)

Priscilla, that's awful re: your air conditioner...it has been so hot!!

Normally it's cool at night, between 50 and mid 60's. We've had a few night that I'd consider warm with temps in the upper 60's and no air movement. Not too bad.

As for PB&J's I'm sure that was one very long rap sheet! [grin]
