Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

A Thorny Topic

It's a really great year for black berries!
All that rain had to be good for something..
Great big briar patches loaded with berries, 
out in the cow pastures.

The thing is, you have to reach your hand down thru branches and leaves to pick the berries.

CAUTION!!  
Every branch and stem is loaded with big & little thorns.
I have the red scratch marks on my hands and arms to prove it.

You just plop that big sweet black one into your mouth ...
and see the bumper crop that will be ripe in about 2 weeks.
