We’ve lived here 25 years. Twenty-five years of getting slapped in the shoulder by blackberry brambles every time I work in the yard. Twenty-five years of the birds eating anything vaguely ripe. This summer we have a quart of berries. I’m trying hard not to worry about the birds, and hoping it’s that we now have so many brambles.
