Blackberries???

[Arrietty]

Second post-break run today - managed 30 minutes HURRAH!!!

Saw a squirrel which made me jump. Also isn't it a bit early for blackberries to be ripening??

squirrels make you JUMP? hopefully not into a blackberry bush.. are they really ripening? I hadn't noticed.. useful info though.. snack while you run..

[Arrietty Graduate in reply to Anaverageman]

They are - just round the corner from my house! The squirrel only made me jump because it appeared out of nowhere!!!

[Anaverageman Graduate in reply to Arrietty]

I thought the squirrel would have made you jump because it was double the size of you Arrietty??? ( say hello to Pod for me will you?)

Gotta watch out for those squirrels , especially the GREY ones they are mean!

The last couple of years, I've found blackberries one of my routes from mid-July!! And that's in the centre of the city!

Hurrah for 30 minutes!

I live out in the sticks and don't normally see any til well into August. Mysterious!

[Arrietty Graduate in reply to dottiemay]

And thanks for the hurrah!

A few ripe blackberries are appearing along my canal path, but they look a bit tough, too early. I think wait a bit for the sweeter ones to come out. In squirrel news, one nearly came in my bedroom window the other day - on the 2nd floor. It jumped off a nearby branch, dramatically scrabbled for a few seconds clinging to a tiny bit of window frame, then fell. I ran outside worried I'd find an injured or dead squirrel but it had gone, presumably scampered away unharmed!

Phew! I know the grey ones are rats with tails really but I do like them!
