This purple stained thumb...
...is from picking lots of these:
Blackberries are in season here, which means lots of fresh grown yumminess without having to actually grow things:) My thumbs are much better at being purple than they are at being green!

... and headed down our little road...
...to search for berries!
Some of us got a little distracted by rocks and bugs.
But we still came home with a big bowl of yumminess...
...that was quickly turned into a pie!

I used this recipe:1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
4 cups fresh blackberries
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
Directions
1.Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9 inch deep dish pie pan with one of the crusts.
2.Place the blackberries in a large bowl. Stir together the sugar, flour, and salt. Sprinkle over the berries, and toss to coat. Pour into the pie crust. Dot with butter. Place the other pie crust over the top, and secure to the bottom crust by pressing with a fork, or fluting with your fingers. Cut a design in the top crust with a sharp knife to vent steam.
3.Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top crust is browned. Let cool to almost room temperature before serving to allow the filling to set.

P.S. Brownie points for Cindy and {my IRL friend} Ashley for guessing that the purple stained thumb was from berry picking:)

Mmmmm, that looks soooo yummy! We used to have some great blackberry bushes at the very egde of our property line but hubby got a little too handy with the lawnmower one day & the neighbor on the other side let his goats loose. insert sad face here! Oh well... my Brother in Law is a farmer & some of his crops include marionberries, blackberries & raspberries so I guess I can't complain cuz I get my fill every year. It's almost time... YUMMY!

Oh wow, that pie looks so good! When I was a little girl, a next door neighbor would gather up the kids in the neighborhood and we would pick blackberries. When we were done, she would rinse them and put some milk and sugar on it and let us all eat it under her shade tree. Thanks for bringing back that fond memory!!
