Summer’s Last Adventure: Blackberry Picking

Summer’s Last Adventure: Blackberry Picking
Wild blackberries.
Updated:
I often see photos on social media of beautiful women picking blackberries with long white dresses, elegant straw hats, and big smiles. They walk gracefully among the brambles, sometimes escorted by furry dogs. 
I’ve always had different experiences. In my family, we prepare to go blackberry picking as if we were readying for war—or at least for hunting for mushrooms in the deep woods.
