Blackberries

This is the time to be out picking berries!  They are sweet, plump, plentiful and early this year!  Worth the pain of the thorns, for sure.  Everyone has a favourite spot around Tahsis and there are enough delicious berries for everyone who ventures out there with long sleeves and a bucket.   

Coming up this fall:  a Wildberry Festival in September at CMESS.  Sponsored by Breakfast Clubs of Canada, and thanks to volunteers like Paul, who just donated several pounds of perfect blackberries for the school freezer, we will enjoy a community wide free dessert and coffee night to celebrate our excellent berries that grow locally.  We'll have more details of that delicious event in a few weeks!
