sign of summer

A blackberry just burst on my tongue.

Yes, it's a shipped-from-somewhere-South berry, but basically ripe, and sweet and juicy. And I have several more in a bowl, and the rest of a small container I'm saving for breakfast.

(Sure, it's cool and damp this evening, but I have blackberries. Also hot chocolate, because it is that kind of night. Do I contradict myself? Very well...)

So I'm sitting here having just had a bowl of pea and ham soup (from work) with a couple of fresh bread rolls and thinking something sweet would be nice when I read this. Now I'm wishing for blueberries and peach slices with vanilla ice-cream. If it were not for the bitterly cold wind and rain outside I might even do something about this.
