Blackberry Harvest and Cool Temps

Its been unseasonably cool this summer! According to the news this is the second coolest July in History. I saw the date 1880 pop up the other night when they were talking about it. Hey I'm not complaining. We've not hit high 90's but a couple of days.
 
Sunday I drove to Hot Springs to pick blackberries. My parents have a few acres of land and they are growing wild ALL over it!
My brother and dad went to help. We picked a little over two gallons. Spence ate more than he put in his bucket.

I spent today freezing a few bags and making 14 jars of jam. I made Kev a cobbler too. Blackberry Cobbler is his favorite! I mention the other day that I purchased a canning funnel. Boy does it make getting the sticking hot liquid into the jars easier!

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

Dogwoods

Sunday I inventoried our Dogwood Trees. We have 24 total. Some are just small bushes. There are probably about 12 big trees. I marked them so that when we are clearing brush later we won't kill them. My hope is to clear out some around them so they can all grow into large trees. They are absolutely beautiful to look at!!! I want to get some more pictures, but I got Poison Ivy on my legs the other day so I'm staying out of the woods for now.
