Each summer, I like to walk over to my secret patch of blackberry bushes and load up. Around here, blackberries ripen somewhere in the first three weeks of July. Raspberries, which are generally harder to find, ripen about two weeks earlier.
This morning, I went to check on the blackberries, and I happened to stumble into a loaded patch of raspberries. They were so ripe, some even fell off the branches as I picked. Raspberries possess a very delicate, sweet flavor. I most enjoy them as a topping to vanilla ice cream. I would have stayed longer to pick, but I had the dog with me off the leash and she had already gone after one skunk. So I figured I'd better book it on back with my solid pint of berries.
