Blackberry Picking

One of the first things that I loved very much about Corvallis was the bounty of wild blackberries you find everywhere.
Just around the corner from our house last year was a real jackpot of blackberry bushes running alongside Dixon Creek.
We discovered it very early on after moving in, and immediately set about picking, pie-ing, pancaking, and all other manner of enjoying blackberries. :)

The tradition continues on this summer too with the first family outing to pick blackberries just this morning!
We hope to bake them into pies, give away to friends, and freeze to enjoy over the winter.

Hopefully I will remember to take pictures of all the things that our blackberries turn into.
Until then, Happy Blackberry Picking!!
