We’ve made one trip out for school supplies, but upon discovering that A1 is required to have a specific type/brand of calculator that costs $149.99 we decided to hold off until we can check some prices on-line. 

Thebloodberry blackberry bushes tore my hands, arms and legs to shreds.  Those darned things are brutal. Tonight we’ll enjoy vanilla ice cream with blackberry syrup and just a hint of O positive. I’m out of pectin so blackberry jelly will have to wait for the next round to ripen (in a few days). 

Not much else happening, hope everyone is enjoying this fine weekend.
