Today whilst sitting on my bed, tortured with the boredom of being probably the only person under 50 in the 20 mile radius surrounding me, I figured I would go pick some blackberries!
Just the other night, I was walking with my mom and on the way back we ran into a full grown female deer and she walking right up to me (well about 5 feet away from me) and I think if I had an apple she definitely would have come eaten out of my hand. Instead I picked some nearby berries and threw them to her and she chomped them up. The berries were super ripe so I figured I would use my spare time to go and try and pick enough for a pie!
The beautiful berries themselves.
If you look close enough you can see the millions of tiny splinters in my fingers. SO WORTH IT THOUGH.
My beautiful bounty of berries.
I love the connection you get to your food through gathering it yourself. It feels as though you have really earned your beautiful dessert especially when blood and sweat is shed (are shed?). My english teacher aunt is visiting so I am suddenly hyper-aware of my terrible grammar. Tomorrow we are baking the pie for a few friends as a gift and I am so excited for them to enjoy it!
Also Panic! at the Disco is coming out with a new CD in October and I am beyond excited! Here is one of their early releases and when they go on tour you know who will be first in line for tickets (this girl)!
