with you

Early morning
In the thick
Of blackberries
In need of pick
Patience soothed
With taste
Of few
This quiet sunrise
Me and you
Purple fingers
Memory stain
Jam for toast
In ready of rain
~ With berries left
When canning is through
I’ll bake a pie
My love, for you

This is simply delightful, and brings back a few recollections of some berry picking from earlier days...

well done!

Ahhhh, yes, just did this last weekend with my family. We hike to the "secret place" as my kids call it, some as yet undeveloped land, and picked to our hearts content. And we've got the scratches on our legs to prove it:  note to self: don't wear shorts while picking blackberries!

Thanks for sharing this!

This brought back a lot of memories from childhood, those purple fingers and all. Thanks for this.

I love it !

'Patience soothed

Never been able to handle the art
of having more in the pail than in my tummy !

For purple fingers majestied - above the berried plains~
Couldn't resist !

Loved this sea...many memories from the old childhood...mine and more recently, my kids...but alas, this year's berries are gone down here in the general Houston area...still, upon looking, I think I see a fading stain or two...

Oh Sea...I walk down the lane every morning and come back with purple hands as I eat them all along the way...is there anything better than blackberry jam?  This was terrific!

Sea--So sweet and loving is the smell of fresh backed pie and the look of purple smiles.
