This past year, because of no rain (whatsoever) during the winter, the blackberry vines that line the garden fences have not grown. I had pretty much given up hope of any blackberry cobbler this spring (usually this time of year we are bringing home berries by the bucketful--we even have the last cup or two of last year's crop still in our freezer).

However, yesterday I found a small area of thriving blackberry vines flowering near the left side of my front garden fence. So we may not get berries by the pound, but I suspect we'll still enjoy a few blackberries before the spring is over.

We'll experience the joy of quality rather than quantity.
