For most of the year blackberries are a scourge: a thorny, invasive vine that is impossible to get rid of. But for a few weeks of late summer the blackberry vine redeems itself with mouthfuls of tangy sweetness.
What in your life that you mostly find annoying periodically gives you something wonderful?
A recent happening has come to me; I don’t like breakfast. I used to look forward to it but my taste buds have turned off in the morning, I guess. However, I’m trying to be creative and make up something that seems tasty. I won’t go into detail because some of the concoctions I’ve invented are too bizarre, but since I know that good nutrition is important, I eat something that’s probably not called breakfast by most people….but like the blackberries, the food turns into something surprisingly eatable, sometimes!
