Sunk Hilt Deep

Blackberries are ripe and the critters are enjoying the sweetness as much as we are.  Blackbirds swoop in for the top berries poking out of the top of the hedge o’berries. Grey squirrels can be spotted running from the hedge to their den under the bridge. When I whack back some of the long, 8 ft. barbed vines and expose the hidden bounty, the cows nibble the tender tips and exposed fruit.

The dogs don’t wait for me to clip back the thorny vines, they just dig right in.

On this day, only the back end of the Jackson can be seen as he is heard snacking and smacking on the sweet berries.
