Blackberries
I was going to write something a couple of days ago about the blackberries. On my walk to work there are hedgerows with hundreds and thousands of green blackberries (you know what I mean). Two days ago I found one that had already turned black, and was out of reach of all but the most agile dogs, so I braved the thorns and picked it. I ate it all the way home. A little tart, but YUM! So I was looking forward to ambling home and tasting all the rest of them once the green turned to black in a couple of weeks. Then, yesterday morning I found a tractor on the walk to work. Not just any tractor, but one equipped with some great hedge-trimming-beast of a rear end that was chomping its way through the lovely (albeit very overgrown) hedges! So much for my plans! Maybe the moral of this story is that I need to appreciate the little I have now? You don't know what you have until it's gone? But I did know, and I did appreciate! So maybe it's just that I should always remember to stop and eat the blackberries before some dirty great tractor gets there before me. Ah well. k.
