so far nobody has arrived, but perhaps this

i know what you mean though, so few people
actually will do anything these days that
involves much effort. when they get hungry
enough they'll have to figure it out.

Yep. We keep inviting friends and family members to come over to pick
blackberries since they're still so plentiful. It has been very hot
here but if we can go out and pick 'em they can too. No one has taken
us up on our multiple offers. Well, I hope they don't want blackberry
jelly this year and I'm not baking any more cobblers.

I have sent lots of berries to a neighbor. He has plenty of his own
but isn't able to pick them due to bad health. I just made another
batch of jelly and will give him some as well. He has given us some
of his excess green beans. We had them last night and they were
delish.
