Sheldon, you're very lucky! I remember when I was a little kid (five years
old?) picking blackberries and raspberries along the road while taking a
walk with my dad. Blueberries, no. Definitely not cherries! I do
remember the thorns from the blackberry and raspberry bushes! The wild
berries probably had a lot more flavour 40 years ago. And I'm sure that's
as fresh as the berries in my life will ever get
