Black Raspberry Time

It's that time of year again. The black raspberries are starting to ripen in the back yard and in the woods behind the house. The berries seem to be quite a bit smaller than normal, and a little less abundant than normal, probably because we've had a lack of rain so far this summer. But the berries that are out there are quite yummy. We picked a small bowl on the 4th, and I picked a handful today after work. In the morning, I plan on taking my big bowl out again for round two. Normally I can fill a large mixing bowl in one pass, and this time I just got manybe 1/5 of a bowl the first time through.
