I haven't had black raspberries in years! They used to grow wild on my
grandfather's farm. Every summer I used to go picking with my black
Labrador retriever, Lucy. She enjoyed picking and eating the berries as
much as I did.

The Himalayan blackberries are late again this year, but it looks as if
there will be a bumper crop. The cherries have been fantastic. I was
able to buy Rainier cherries for under $3/pound for the first time ever
this year.
