Friday morning a friend called to let us know that his neighbor had about 1-2 gallons of blackberries that we could have if we went to pick them. I rarely turn down free food but accept it gratefully as God's provision, so we packed up and went. We went prepared to brave the thorns of wild blackberries (as we do at our house). We were pleasantly surprised to find tame, luscious, and trained on a wire framework berries. We picked 5 gallons! That afternoon Joseph and I cleaned them, then he and Jared deseeded them while I got ready to go to a wedding that evening. Saturday I spent several hours making and canning jelly. The yield was 21 pints! I am always awed at God's faithful provision and am thanking Him for a shelf full of jelly in the pantry.
