As the summer continues, my cupboard continues to fill with lots of tasty things, some with a childhood memory attached, and others left open to start new beginnings. I will begin with the grapes.

| "I heard it through the grapevine.." |
Their twisty, curly vines wrap around the man- built frame, supporting tiny bunches of premature grapes; accompanied by the sweet smell and honeysuckle. The grapes are a new and exciting venture for me, I can't wait to see how these tiny bundles of joy grow!

| Honeysuckle contains a sweet, edible nectar. |
Next up are the famous wild blackberries. To me, summer just isn't summer without them. I spent many summers picking blackberries in the dark until my fingertips turned purple...now that's love!
 |
| Looks like the critters enjoy them too! |
I enjoy eating them just as they are, right off the vine, or, rinsed and chilled (if they make it back to the house). But, my all-time favorite would still have to be homemade blackberry cobbler (right out of the oven), topped with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. Summertime lovin'...lovin in the summertime!
