Blackberry Winter


We've had a run of warm, summery weather for the last few weeks. Yesterday, however, was cool and rainy. It was quite chilly this morning, too. A long time ago, a botanist friend of mine told me that, when she was growing up, folks called this weather blackberry winter. She said that there's always a cold snap in the spring when the blackberries are blooming. Most years, that's what happens. Like today.
