A Dog and Some Blackberries
(the berry of the day)
have a berry, I picked it just for you…
dirty digging dog
A Blessing
Oh Lucy Mae, you have already planted
your little paw in my heart
right in that spot that pains me
and delights me
and I guess what I trying to say is
welcome
welcome,
welcome
to the place where my heart lives.

You are so cute!

I love Lucy’s “blessing”. We have haircut pics on our page too! Wow, short, but very cute!
Ya’ll are just so perfect! Blackberries, a lab, and new ‘do, too! Love all three.
I haven’t had fresh blackberries in sooooo long. There are so many points of living in New England that I miss living here in FL. Lucy is a little cutie, covered in sand and such as she is. I’m sure my hubby is glad that we are so space limited or I would have us overrun with pups and kitties.
Love the haircut!!
Guess what? Lucky is touching Jelani’s heart too
He immediately sat up and said DOG! then said “Throw, Throw, Throw?….” I explained that not every dogs are near us. 
Lucy I mean and Dog not Dog(s) lol – typing so fast
I used to eat blackberries right off the bush when I would go to Girl Scout camp for a week each summer. They grew wild and they were so good. I ate a lot of berries. They are my sentimental favorite.

And you are adorable, with your new hair.
Ohhh…That last picture of Lucy melts my heart!!!
Love the hair cut! It’s Sassy!

I do need that camera!
The berries and the dog are beautiful. You, on the other hand, are gorgeous! I love the haircut. Do you like it?
2 of my favorite things, blackberries and new haircuts!!
you look lovely! <3
Man, those blackberries look good!
I see both of your children in your face in the last pic. They both look like you.
Such a breezy and beautiful new hairdo. You are adorable, as always.
I’ve been out of town, and just caught up on all your posts.
I Hope you’re cough is better. We’ve had the same thing at our house. Summer colds are the pits.
RADIANT red headed you! Love the cut!
Lucy is a cutie pie and those berries, well, I will be right over…YUM!
Mmmmm… blackberries….. Now that you have my address, you will need to bake me a blackberry cobbler and overnight it.
Cute haircut.
the berries look wonderful! and such a cute puppy!
Those blackberries look yummy. Love the pic of your new haircut.
I love blackberry season, we picked our first really ripe, juicy sweet ones today. They offer such a mouthful. I’ll be thinking of you across the country picking yours!
Beautiful hair! I truly love it. I wonder, what is the temperature there, all the way on the other side of the country? Here in Texas it is 105+ each day. We won’t be living here forever, I want four distinct seasons. Curious about your summers! Actually, we’re about to move to Arizona here in a few months, but we won’t be there forever, either….
yummmy….
Oh my, what memories…blackberries…picking them in the country..yum*what great photos..just want to reach in and grab some* and you look great pretty lady….so glad you are truly enjoying your garden..* just wanted to pop in and send a hug..take good care, Lee *
ps..the dog and the poem…so sweet*
Those berries looked good enought to eat..right off the page!!
Your puppy looks just like mine
Aint they cute when they’re all wet and muddy!
Everything looks fantastic!
P.S. – I can’t find your contact info! I’ve wanted to write/call, but I lost the paper with your info on it.
If I had beautiful curls like yours, I’d get a haircut like this too! Looks great!

Your hair looks supercute!
Oh my gawd how I love blackberries. (drool)
Okay. I am going to call you sometime soon so you can give me the lowdown on book selling. In particular, where do I find out about book sales? I am doing pretty well just with what I have in the house, but I know I will run out of inventory eventually.
yum!
You don’t know me or anything but I’m taking a survey: what are your persepctives on child abuse?
